Tom Daniel Groovy Grader 1:24 Scale Custom Show Rod Model Kit

Need a drag strip graded in a hurry? The Tom Daniel Groovy Grader is ready for the job!

Bring one of the wildest custom show rods ever imagined to your workbench with the Atlantis Models Tom Daniel Groovy Grader 1:24 Scale Plastic Model Kit.

Designed in the unmistakable style of legendary artist and model-kit designer Tom Daniel, the Groovy Grader transforms an ordinary road grader into an outrageous 1970s-style custom machine packed with chrome, huge drag slicks, a blown V8 engine, and plenty of attitude.

This is not your typical construction vehicle. It is a fantasy hot rod built for modelers who love unusual cars, vintage show rods, and classic Tom Daniel designs.

The World’s Fastest Road Grader

The Groovy Grader starts with the basic shape of an old-time road grader and takes it in a completely different direction.

The original diesel engine is gone, replaced by a massive blown V8 “Rat” motor mounted inside the chopped and customized grader body.

At the rear are four giant dual drag slicks, giving this fantasy construction machine the aggressive stance of a quarter-mile dragster.

Up front, vintage-style side lamps add an old-school touch, while the large chrome grader blade looks ready to flatten anything in its path.

Classic Tom Daniel Show Rod Style

Tom Daniel became famous for creating model kits that were anything but ordinary.

His designs combined hot rods, drag racing, fantasy vehicles, custom cars, and plenty of humor into unforgettable machines that became some of the most recognizable model kits of the 1960s and 1970s.

The Groovy Grader is a perfect example of that creative style.

Instead of simply building a construction vehicle, you get a wild custom road grader powered by a blown V8 and riding on huge racing slicks.

It is strange, colorful, fun, and unmistakably Tom Daniel.

Two Groovy Ways to Build It

Atlantis Models includes an updated decal sheet with two different graphic options, including the distinctive TD Construction Co. design.

Builders can recreate the classic Groovy Grader appearance or customize the kit with their own paint and detailing ideas.

The bright yellow molded parts and chrome components give you an excellent starting point for a colorful 1970s-style show rod.

A Fun Kit for Builders and Collectors

The Groovy Grader makes a great project for anyone who enjoys:

• Tom Daniel model kits

• Vintage custom show rods

• Hot rods and drag racing models

• Unusual construction vehicle models
