Thank you Jim! I know what you mean. If i look on this own work, i always have a smile in my face and wonder about the work...from time to time, i can't belive, that i had built it. Just looking as a little child.

Thank you very much for kind words!

Brad, sure you can make that. This is, what a forum living for: to give and take impressions ;)

Today i want to show you some pictures from the progress. I will start with the Racerswedge.

I think, this kit from amt / Model king...

...knows everybody.

For the cabin and "backwards"frame, i took this Snapkit:

Renntrsp(107).JPG

For the engine and the front frame i took a '59 Cadillac Eldorado. the best point of it was, that it all fit together, like it always was so planed!

The next idea is to build a "cabover"...

...and here are the outter panels for it:

All these parts i glued together...

Here i had build the rearaxles from the wedge. I took a part of a frame from a Ford F100 and axles out of may parts box from leftover kitparts:

Now my favorite fitting. Install the engine and front frame from the cadillac. Here you can see the grey frame i took from it and how i fit into the snap kit...

...and how it fit, when i mounted the body:

This was "easy" work! Thats it, what make a lot of fun, if all will fit together.

Renntrsp(419).JPG

Thats it. That was, what i want to show you. perhaps, this posts where better in "on the workbanch"? But this progress was one year ago and is not in time...

The last steps was to make a front bumper and exhaust system.

Thanks for patience,
