I know your projects are well researched Mike and hope you don't mind me sharing this period photo of the Good Year Sports Car Special tire.

Great video, thanks for posting it.

Great project Mike.

Hi Brian, yes Norm just released these.

Wouldn't this be an easier starting point than the Gasser kit?

Nice car and color combination.

IMHO this is the nicest engine I have ever seen in a mass production kit - highly recommended.

With the dual quads before wiring & plumbing.

Very nice Steve.

Looks good Pat.

Turned out great Kurt.

Coming along very nicely Jason.

I added some additional photos of the Scale Coachwork body.

The Allen Grant (#96) car is an early 289 with the stock flat lip at the front wheels and only the rear wheel openings modified, similar to this: Also no fender vents, cut-back doors, oil cooler scope or suitcase bumps on the Grant car.

From wikipedia: The team's current primary logo was introduced in 1962 and is based on the flag originally designed by Pittsburgh's U.S. Steel and now owned by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Ironically, it was Robert Sexton, an employee out of the Pittsburgh office of Cleveland-based Republic Steel, that suggested the Steelers adopt the industry logo. It consists of the word "Steel" surrounded by three astroids (hypocycloids of four cusps). The original meanings behind the astroids were, "Steel lightens your work, brightens your leisure, and widens your world." Later, the colors came to represent the ingredients used in the steel-making process: yellow for coal, orange for iron ore, and blue for scrap steel.[4] While the formal Steelmark logo contains only the word "Steel," the team was given permission to add "ers" in 1963 after a petition against AISI. While the logo still resembles the original Steelmark logo, the team has made subtle changes over the years in order to own a trademark on the logo, most notably making the three astroids thicker in shape and changing the orange astroid to red. The Steelmark logo itself has actually been heavily redesigned since then, using two variants, one of which uses a more modern design and uses three shades of blue for the astroids[5] while another one used concurrently has a strong resemblance to the recycling symbol. One alternate variation the team used in the 1980s—though rarely used today—combined the logo with the team's signature stencil-script typeface, replacing the regular "Steelers" typeface used with the team's longtime script logo. The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts its logo on only one side of the helmet (the right side). Longtime field and equipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to do this by Art Rooney as a test to see how the logo appeared on the gold helmets; however, its popularity led the team to leave it that way permanently.[6] Since then, several college football teams such as Michigan State have followed the Steelers approach at one point or another and had their logo on only one side of the helmet. At the end of the 1962 season, they switched to black helmets for the 1962 Playoff Bowl to make it stand out more, and adopted the black helmets full time from the 1963 season onward. In 1977, the Steelers switched facemask colors from gray to black. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos_and_uniforms_of_the_Pittsburgh_Steelers

Nice build Gary. They did a restoration of a 2CV on Fantom Works. https://www.fantomworks.com/project/1962-citroen-2cv/

Very nice Will.

Very impressive build my friend, congratulations on finishing it.

Looks like a copy of the Scale Coachworks resin kit with some extra bits added.

Excellent work.

Thanks Dann.

Tell Scott he did a nice job Gary. Did Scott take any engine bay photos?

As a lifelong fan it is "Steelers" as in steel mills that the city was known for.

Great looking project Stu.
