So what's a Canso already Howard?

I love the whole TROG genre of cars.I have built a few myself inspired by this race series. Are you going to lengthen the chassis? IMHO the current status seems too short for the body length. Great idea using the Auburn boat tail section on the Henry "A" body. I'll be watching carefully from here in Ohio.

It's a shame that drag racing is such an expensive sport to participate in. That situation necessitates having to sticker bomb your beautiful car with a bushel basket of your sponsors' decals. Darn shame to clutter all that coolness with sticker litter. Beautifully creative model. Thanks for not letting this die in the box.

Any progress lately?

Thanks Dave. With so many negative things happening in our collective hobby right now like cancelled club meetings and contests not to mention magazines dropping like flies these forums are a great and dependable refuge for all the like-minded builders and model dreamers that depend on the forums for constant inspiration and entertainment..

Saw a '60's era Corvair ramp side pickup go through town yesterday,looked untouched and was ticking was ticking right along with traffic.

Great to see Another survivor brought back to the shelf.

Thanks the info brother builders. I find it reassuringly amazing that there Isn't anything this group can't answer or find.

I just saw announcement yesterday that Scale Auto is no longer going to be in business. Another one bites the dust! The end of an era. Hang unto your copys fellow builders cause aren't going to be any more.

I store mine in 6" tall pieces of white PVC pipe that I made sheet plastic end caps for. Each only needs 2" of space on my bench. Each one holds one type of evergreen such as "half and quarter round","angle","small strip",etc. I cut the packages down in length and width so that the material sticks out so I can eyeball what I need. This works very well.

For attaching that hose remember the universal solution called duct tape.

Any progress?

I lucked out there as I was only five minutes from work.

Impressive work Kurt.

Ambitious project,good luck with your conversion

Patina'd finish is soooo good on this car. "In rust we trust"!

Always wondered if you convert all your builds to right hand drive. If do where do get the parts, scratch built or resin cast?

Welcome to the forums. What do you build?

Very interesting and effective sectioning method. I would never have thought of that. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I love those '62 bubble tops. When new they were very rare, I only ever saw two on the road. IIRC these were built from '62 convertible bodies and the hardtop sections left over from the '61 model year production.

You might consider using a larger size rear wheeleel/tire combo in The back considering the size and weight of a vehicle that size. Not being critical,just an observation. Enjoy the holiday and stay safe.

Living in Grove City, you are close enough in Columbus to be involved with the Buckets Scale Auto Club. Check us out on Facebook to find out about meeting information.

I love it! Huge slabs is styrene being cut and plastic flying everywhere. Your reference photos appear excellent allowing you to scale the major panels directly from them. This is gonna be fun to watch!

Just the fact that a major kit maker actually made a four door kit is more than a little surprising..
