32 Ford Vicky build

[btaylor]

Knocked out another old timer this weekend. This one is based on the old AMT "Vicky" KIT. The chassis is brass scracthbuilt, simulating the original chassis rails. Motor is Piranha, using 9/31 gearing. My old stand buy H&R wheels, running my own jalopy size urethane tires. Slotting plus guide was used,and Wheel inserts are from the kit as well, from the build it three ways stocker version. I liked the Kelsey hayes wires, and quite a few of the old stockers ran them, so on they went. Color is olive drab, with an orange contrast on wheels and chassis. Headers are handmade from the kit sprues, and the flathead ford engine is also from the kit. Decals are hodge podge from the bin. Driver figure is my own resin casting as well.

Bob, when I send my cars for the showdown could I buy a couple of figures and some vintage tyres please, and would you be able to send them to Harry if he didn't mind so that we can package them together for return to uk... Harry must make sure he lets me know full cost to pay tho.
