gonzo64nova Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nice job on that old digger.The body you've created really makes it look retro.All the early diiggers had body work that wrapped around the back of the car like yours. Is that the Hemisphere chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer13 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 All of the frame work was made with evergreen plastic number 177 I used balsa I found at the LHS the rear fenders from a Lindberg 34 ford pickup, leaf springs from the 50 ford pickup. the crank and tongue are scratched with more evergreen odds n ends.
