    VERY SHARP- I can tell a lot of work went into that! and nice engine detail. cool brass nuks for the shift knob

    I looked at it again and its fine-they just took off the frame rails and the rest is numbered and fine-rare to get a plastic packet still sealed[almost]!

    Thank You Earl-it was fun putting together the pictures and history.

    I saw that one too-check the contents closely as it has been messed with- parts taken out of the stampings etc.....Good Luck.

    dont forget to fill the holes on the side rails like I did. [if its going to be fenderless] the running board mount plates might need to be ground off too.[bracket w/3 rivets] I also forgot to delete those on mine. chassis looks great though-makes me want to start another.....

    I had the same thing happen-mine was a started kit. but no other parts were painted-just the yellow and apparently sprayed on the trees.I thought the previous owner did it. every FUMAN I bought also has tires that were defective-slightly off set on the tire tread. the ENTEX tires are the best!

    they look real-grain, texture,stuffing,color...... Gerald Wingrove would be impressed.!

    that would be the badge for the Stutz Bearcat from the 1970's-didnt it look like a xxxxed out Montecarlo?

    Great attention to detail. I can remember when this car was the hot #

    Thanks Harry- heres a shot at NNL west with OLD 16 in background....

    this kit was so out of proportion and set up incorrectly but I fixed that. the hood had to be lengthened by 3/4 of an inch.dash completely changed along with all of the chassis details. a new oil pan was made, gas tank lowered and plumbed.

    I musta been thinking about those cream puffs at Pebble.......

    brackets look great! I think I used the same spare for my Bearcat.
  14. f1ford48
    and stock steering wheel,dash, taillights etc etc. that would be a ''project'' well worth it though as this model has excellent proportions.

    Hey- its a RR- you can have it anyway you want it! with the sporty ''wings'' I would paint it all gloss black. delete the whitewalls and either a black or tan top. that would really set off the chrome wire wheels. and of course a red leather interior. now that would be classy....[just an opinion]

    I want to build one of these bone stock! I got the wheels from the lindberg canary-not bad. and maybe a 5 window resin body?????

    whats the deal with the fenders on this car? looks like they should be on an earlier sports racer. I believe it should have fenders like the 1/16 Revell RR.

    amazing....so much history there.. did you ever go to the LI auto Museum? I guess I have to get to the Henry Ford sometime to see OLD16
  19. f1ford48
    this is how PH used to paint-in motion. my guess its a Mercedes or ITALA?
  20. f1ford48
    I dont know if his spanners are small enough! do they give you tools with this model? I would not want to use a spoke tightening wrench on those wheels!!!!
  21. f1ford48
    so it seems one could get a broken- built one for 200 or under. I saw an after market wood wheel set for the Fiat but the ''grain'' seemed all wrong. the tires would for sure need to be replaced. the rest could have some scratch building to look excellent. maybe I will try one!
  22. f1ford48
    I am Excited to see one of these go together, looks like my room-only not as discumbobulated!!! I have a neighbor who restores RR's of this vintage.
  23. f1ford48
    yes- the few ive seen did look like the Fiat was involved....
  24. f1ford48
    there a guy -also on youtube- at a texas car museum with a raceabout-sez its worth a million!!!!!!!!!!!! to bad we can't scale up! the riding mechanic was known as a ''MECHANICIAN'' I got that from Peter Helcks book-'' The Checkerd Flag''
  25. f1ford48
    I missed a few built Fiats for 150-200. can you take em apart easily?
