sports850 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That's cool , any details on what it is (I saw the remains of a similar body at a mates place but he didn't know what it was or who made it) ? What are the engines in it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Great execution and the weathering is spot on, Ron. Nice addition to your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nice Build!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronr Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. It is a resin replica of the Kart that came with the AMT `63 ford pickup. This one came from Norm at Replicas & Miniatures 0f Maryland. Ian, The engines are replicas of the Mcculloch 9 that was made in `63. It was 6.05 cu.in. First Shiny build for me in a long time thanks to Dr. Cranky. He has me hooked on rust and gunk, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Foxx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 This is a really nice build - looks smooth and fast even sitting on the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I sure do miss the bonus kits from the "golden age" Like the tire detail ..too kool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have a junker I plan on rebuilding. Currently gathering parts. Hope it turns out half as nice as yours! BTW, is the trailer from a kit, or scratch built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nice piece! I have a resin kit of that stashed away somewhere... I hope mine looks HALF as good! What's going to tow it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronr Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Paul, The trailer is from the new Revell Midget kit. This was a very enjoyable build. Broke my building block. John, I have a resin `66 ford pick up I`m thinking about building to tow it. Edited March 2, 2012 by ronr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Very cool. I didn't expect to see the go-kart on the inside. That would be a blast to drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbwelda Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) ron, thats a great build of that reps and mins of maryland resin kit. i did one myself; very similar, yellow like yours. but then i saw that trailer and when you mentioned it was from the midget kits, i just went YEAH and monkey see monkee do...had to go pirate one from one of my midget kits. i notice something though that i just noticed on your trailer: you added diamond plate at the very rear of it to cover that big open spot that the midgets fit over but the kart doesnt...i made a floorboard of plastic to look like planks of wood for mine. great idea and thanks for sharing. that kart is really great looking! i take it you made the exhaust pipe? they look better aligned than they did when you used the kit pieces: Edited March 4, 2012 by jbwelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 that body would make a great paddleboat aswell (and probably just as fast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronr Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks for the compliments guys. I used a soild pc of tread plate on the trailer and the Exhaust are 1/6 alum. tubing. The Carbs are a pc of alum tubeing with a #5 braided line fitting slid over it. Good looking Kart William. As for Paddleboat speed , that would be a pretty quick paddle boat. With twin 6.05 McCulloghs and the size of the tires , you would be looking at a top end speed of between 120-140 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
