This has been posted elsewhere, but thought I'd share here also. This is a resin body with a scratchbuilt nose, bellypan, frame, interior, exhaust, etc... The intake combines a pivotin & roots style blower both on a cadillac motor. The color is tamiya gloss aluminum with a little salt kicked up onto it to look like it made a pass or two. Thanks for lookin, Chris     |

Great looking build. The salt on the tires really sets it off.

Thanks guys Ron, I used the two piece tires from the old monogram "32 Ford 'Deuce' Roadster Drag Strip Hot Rod" cgi.ebay.com/Monogram-32-Ford-Roads...1QQcmdZViewItemAnyway, there is only tread along the outside that needs to come off. I glued the halves together, then sandwiched them between some washers with a screw and nut, put them in the drill press & rounded the tires with a file and sandpaper. Then filled the seam and painted them with semi-flat black paint. The only downfall to these is the hole that the wheels fit into are HUGE, especially in the rear. I was able to find a junk wheel to fit and put a moon disk over it. Hope this helps, Chris |
