A buddy got a hold of an old B&W photo of a drag buggy leaving the line 'wheels up,' and got the idea in his head to do one like it in scale(based on the original AMT Manx kit). Reference material is in short supply, and I'd like to show him the 'Purple Potato Chip' Manx race car too. Anyone got pics or links that might be helpful? Thanks in advance! Here's the original pic I mentioned above: Image By the front hood & rear fender contours, I'll say it's not a Manx.

Well, while this "going in a straight line" thing is NOT my cup of tee, I did capture something like what you are looking for at the BugIn32. Image Image Says... Dutchers Speed Shop on the buggy. Looks like an El Lobo to me, but, what do I know? Others might be able to fill you in on more details.
