Got your attention! No Carrera didn't make this whole thing, but they did build the chassis! Its a 57 Chevy. The body is a snaptite model. I needed a running mate for my Chevy's, and a Good old Ford would do just fine.
I see now that my wheel color is off a bit, and will need re-done, but it runs great, and will be perfect for a race companion to the others.

Nicely done. I actually like the darker blue shade on the wheels and headlamps.

Thanks Guy's! I didn't mention this originally, but I was able to retain the whole model kit interior by removing a piece to clear the motor, and also has a full driver figure. Roll bar is a cut down Artin stocker piece.
Richard, They pop up on E-bay all the time. this one was the Califonia Dreamin version, Cost was $7.99 plus shipping. not a bad price for custom build.

Very cool, Bob. So what the wheels aren't precisely the same color! I think it looks fantastic. That's the same chassis set up under my "Rebel Resins" 49 Ford and she runs great!
