Still deciding on if I should have the hood open and have a motor setting up front or just glue the hood on and let it race

Man, That baby looks the Business right there! You have nailed that 1;1 car perfectly. Makes me want to build some 1/24th cars!
Really nice work.

A few before and after shots of the chassis. It came a long way from a crumpled mess!!! At one point I had a floor plate tack glued to the body and had it hot glued to the chassis. It actually run real good. I was really surprised about that :dance:

Notice the inside of the rear tires. These are some early Paul Gage tires when just the outer sidewalls were finished
