I keep sayin'... Mark makes monkeys out of everybody who is too proud of their work, me especially. Once again, Mark, just amazing work. Every little detail of an eyewitness is on that car. That's what impresses me so much. I can smell the hot metal and rubber, just looking at it. And yes, I noticed that you pulled it off so fast I was still planning and looking at your beginning body by the time you were finished, much less by the time you posted this.

Thanks guys, really glad you like it, I usually don`t reply on my own posts. But this was just so much fun to build, I couldn`t stop working on it until it was finished. This kind of series build is right up my ally with the modeling aspect. I love to make a period correct looking race car, riding high on the right side, with the look of diving into the left front. I actually heated this body under water to give it a little twist into that stance.
thanks Harry for this great idea ! Hope to get a few test laps in this week at Dixon speedway if the track is open. :text-yeahthat:

First, you keep raising the bar on this showdown, very nice job, even the bottom has detail :text-bravo:

could you show us how you made your fuel tube, thats a nice touch

and the air breather what did you use for that?

Jon,
The fuel filler is simply a small piece of 1/8" solid brass rod, with a sleeve of 3/16" soldered flush, with a small .090 solid rod for the t-handle.
The breather is 2 of my blems glued together with a screen trimmed from a coffee
Filter .

Shes a beauty Mark, just beautiful. I gotta remember to take pictures of your builds when I come out there so I can continue to steal, umm, glean ideas from your work. Never cease to amaze me with what you turn out there pal. Ill be getting with you soon to pick up one each of those new resins you have, then Ill have no excuse not to turn out a few brass chassis. See ya

That is just out of control!! The bar is now set way to high. Don't think I'll get even close to it.

Really nice job.

Where are the Wheel inserts and decals from? What wheels did you use?

The pics aren't showing for me. Did they get deleted from Photobucket etc?

No, something new with facebook I think, that`s where they were linked from. Now linked from my web site
thank you !
