MicroNitro

I had a customer ask for a pair of MSD magnetos and a breather for a 1/16 scale pro mod he was building. They turned out so nice I think I may add them to my website. What do you think? I also have stared making the Pro wheels in 1/25

That is super I will have to go lok for the buildup on it.

Very nice, I love the 40 steering wheel.

Every time I see old footage of the race I am amazed at the dust. Art is it just me or does it look like the car sat lower than it does now. Even the wheels look to be a smaller diameter.

I make them on the cnc lathe and sell them on my web site.

This is what I do 40 to 60 hours a week.

Wow!!

very cool

Try Inkscape it's free and lets you draw in vector.

Yes 2011 was great. I am very glad to Live so close to the track.

If you wait until May 10 thru 13 to come down to the Museum they car having a very cool car show. Here is a link http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/indy500/eventinfo/39708-Celebration-of-Automobiles/

If you do get to the track talk to Donald Davidson the track historian. He knows more about every car there than any of us ever will. I am sure he could set you straight with what is correct and what is not on the current configuration of the car. He is also a nice guy who happens to be good friends with my sister in law. Also go upstairs to the photo shop. They have 100,000's of photos from all the races (including the 1909 balloon race Bob) That they will make copy's of for you. The coolest photo I have seen of the car is from a few years ago. They pulled it out in the morning light in the snow right in front timing tower. My son got a large print made of that on. If you can not tell you have hit on one of my favorite subjects the Indy 500. My father worked on the cars in the sixty's, My brother was on a few teams in the ninety's and I even built steering wheels for a few of the cars in the 2002 race. I still have a lot of friends on teams. I have been to every race from 1968 but the first one I remember is 1970 and the Johny Lightning car. Like I said I have pictures of under, over, inside and anywhere you can think of of this car so just let me know if I can help.

Harry if you have never been to the 500 museum It is worth the drive. I have been there dozens of times and have never gotten tired of it. Oh by the way look at the mid picture you posted that is not the wasp. It even has head lights.

The car is on display in the 500 museum in Indy. It was orange when it raced but was painted yellow when it was restored. I have a ton of Photos of it if you need any let me know.

After reading this post I feel like a slacker.

Very cool!

That is nice! The SOHC would be cool.

I second that

Okay I have to figure out hot to mill these calipers. That would complete the wheels and brake rotors. Any ides or help Rom or Chris.

I am jealous.

my wife's Honda is made 85% American made while her dad's Chevy is only 55% American made. Kinda messes up that thinking a bit.

I have been wanting to do some hoops in different scales. I think Gregg is going to send me some inserts to make rings for.

I had a customer order these this week and think they would be good to add to the web site. They will make it easier to mount the wheels. I also think they look really cool.

I'll make you some hats that are 4mm deeper next week.

very cool
