Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Total fantasy. Scribed panels, resin rivets, Spaz Stix chrome, detailed engine. Wheel s from a 90's F1 car, tire's from two sprint cars. Hand cut and laid checkers, resculpt the nose and added the wings. Rear wing from the MPC McLearn Mb8, rudder from some random plane. Thanks for looking in.

TooOld Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 That's pretty sharp ! Great use of parts and really cool with the riveted panels and checkered paint . I don't know much about these types of race cars and wouldn't have known it was a fantasy build if you hadn't said so , great work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thanks Bob. I really have no idea about the Indy race rules during the 60's, so your not alone on the tech front. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm a huge fan of '60s open wheel racers, and I could easily see this along side a Lotus type 49 at Watkins Glenn. Fantastic imagineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
