This looks great!

The scratch built frame and all the radius bar jewelry and stuff is fantastic - what kit (and driver figure) did this start life as?

What exactly are we looking at, is it that 'modern release' 1/25 Revell Midget V8-60 kit?

Thanks again Harry for posting this for me . And thank you everyone for all the nice compliments. I started out with a Revell Kurtis Midget Racer model kit. V8 60 kit. The driver is from Jimmy Flintstone resin. Expensive ,but it worked fine. The whole chassis is scratch built. I used a S&L slim can motor in it . It just fit nicely in there. And I used some vintage aluminum wheels and the threaded knock offs that I had laying around. And the tires are vintage also. I sprayed the body with Dupli-color primer and top coated with Dupil-color black metallic. Then sprayed it with automotive clear. This is my first Midget that I built. I built a lot of other cars . But this is the first. Thanks again for everyone's replies. And the Boss for posting my pictures for me. Much appreciated. I hope to put more on. Bob...............
