alan barton Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 here is my finished Aussie speedway sedan built from an old gunmetal black street machine that I fell out of love with. It would have been racing on 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile dirt track speedways in Australia in the mid seventies, well before tube framed late models came along and changed Aussie sedan racing forever. The body is a Jaymar fibreglass S series Valiant, most likely moulded from a promo or original Revell kit. These bodies are very challenging and take a lot of work to look half way decent. The hood has not been opened due to the high likelihood that it would shatter like a Pringle! Chassis is a shortend version of the unit from an MPC Chrysler kit car with a Dodge Deora slant six under the hood. Twin pipes are made of solder.

Tom Geiger Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Love it! I have one of those Jaymar fiberglass Valiants, as well as a Falcon 4 door sedan. The Pringle description is a good one! That’s exactly how they do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Very cool! There's just something about down 'n' dirty race cars. Give me one of them, over a showboat, any day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
