I ordere the AMt 3 in one last night. I will build the Mahogany runabout version and likely build an older pickupfor it.If I find one closer to the green and white one I might do it with '59 Cadillac fins. The lindberg Coronado might work for this. Assuming one exists.

Wow! Same colours too.

Balance? Spreading the torque forces?.

She's abeauty and would be lively little truck in the flesh.

They weren't all like that but it was a common design.

Thanks.

Just ordered it. Thanks.

I assume these two could be fifty-ized with a donor body.

Thanks Casey. It doesn't have to be the same. I think the mahogany runabout would look great. The only problem is making it look great.?

This'un?

Trailer too?

I would like to build something like this (seen at a show in Saskatoon in 2008). I have the suburban, now I need to find a boat. Open to suggestions. Thanks.And while we are at it, is anyone aware of a 1:24/25 portable generator? I fdound one on Shapeways but I am not sure if I like it.

The offenhauser engines were used mostly at Indianapolis and in midget racers. This one comes from a midget kit. I believe its designoriginated from the Miller racers of the 30’s. Others might pipe up and correct me if I am mistaken.

Offenhauser 220. DOHC L4, 251 cu.in/ 420 hp. From a gift by Gary McNutt .

It's something like that, that I have in mind.

here is an example, the rear fenders were made with Renshape.

Fascinating.

I thought I'd add my two cents. Going back to the OP , I also use wire and other type of metal shapes for strenght in thin stuff. My scratch building is not as advanced as the wonders one sees here but it has similar roots. You don't have one, make one. I also use store bought structural styrene and brass but I seem to find a lot of it in discarded everyday stuff. So I maintain a well stocked shape box. I have a Taig Lathe which meets most of my needs. I still have to learn how to index holes. At least I think that is what it's called. Like the hole pattern in a circle (rim, flywheel, flange,etc).I built a lot of tools and machines for my engine shop dio using junk mixed with styrene. Or I'll use an existing kit part as a base and start from there, i.e. the Big Al AC truck engine. I have scale charts all over the wall as well. I second the comment above that this gets to be somewhat addictive.

I'll say. Eye candy.

Added the door. I know, can't see it because it is rolled up inside its barrel. ?

Gave it a gray rubbery coating on the roof.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
