Imagine being seated at the rear of an almost twenty foot long machine with about a thousand horsepower that covers a quarter mile in 6.5 seconds at 225 miles per hour. I think that would be as close to being strapped to a rocket as you can get. As dragster\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s go, The Young American was a great one. Driven by Carl Casper this nitro burning top fuel dragster won six races between November 1970 and February 1971 defeating Don Garlits\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 legendary Swamp Rat three times! Having built a number of dragsters in my youth I was excited to get started on this iconic dragster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> The (approximately 1:25 scale) kit features 77 pieces molded in white with chrome plated parts and black vinyl tires which is good for a dragster. However, that excitement was dampened a bit as I noticed the almost nonexistent part numbering and lack of proper directions provided by the instruction sheet. For those of us builders that have been spoiled by modern detailed instruction sheets these \u00e2\u20ac\u0153old school\u00e2\u20ac\u009d instructions provide a challenge, so I have done my review to offset this. During this review I will refer to parts by the number they are assigned [watch the color of the number as well as it indicates plated\/non plated part] in a particular panel or step. For the most part none of the parts are numbered so I will clarify, reorder and explain some steps in the instructions as we go. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Covered in this Review:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If you want to perfect your build basic construction; instruction clarifications; tire lettering, Realistic wheel detailing; correct color selections; motor detailing and construction tips; valve cover modifications; electrical distribution correction; assembly sequence enhancements; belt massage; realistic header finishing; fuel line modifications; decal preparation, application, and techniques; attachment hole mods; fuel tank modifications and installation tips; adhesive selections and techniques; suspension assembly processes; body\/nose piece fit correction; are all fully examined in this <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>9 page, full-color<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Step-by-Step review.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"R26KFDR3P5LTG\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <input type=\"image\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>To get your copy of the full review &#8211; just select one of the payment methods above for <b>$2.99 USD<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92013 All rights reserved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7543364-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
