Grant King sprint car!

[Lancaster Tornado!]

Here's the newest addition to my fleet, I used a AMT Grant King sprint car kit for the hood and tail, found the driver on ebay, sorry I forget the seller. I used a sprint plus chassis and lenghted it to meet the S.C.O.R.E. 1/24 sprint car rules. Decals a vintage AMT and custom numbers that I had made. I tried to copy the roll cage from the rear car, I'm pleased with the end results. I have been wanting to use these body parts for a while to make a slot car. So far the car runs good too, just need to breaker her in a little more. Hope you will enjoy this post, of course comments are always welcome, enjoy!

First i would like to thank the members who have stopped by my site.
I was wondering the height,length, width and WB of this Sprint Car?If i could get it.
I would like to scale down one of my frames.
This looks pretty cool.
It is not to get into your market.I only found out about this site yesterday.

Thank You

:banana-rock: :banana-rock: That is one nice piece of work you have done on the whole car.

One question are the back tires sealed and why?

Very nice car. I have always admired that kit for slot car conversion. I have done three of them but I have always turned them into midgets by shortening them to 3" WB to fit the Sprints Plus chassis. One of these days I should go for the full length car as you have done. Again, VERY NICE car. I love you brass work.

That is truly spectacular. One of the best I've seen and there have been a lot of them here on HRW.

Are the rear numbers custom done or are they from the kit? The gold leaf is very well done.
