  15. Looks like you’ve got some more winter to assemble this beast - and by the way - thanks for sharing some of your cold weather - we’re down to the forties in Florida - which of course causes a mass freak out - anyway - please post some more chassis pix before you button this up - and just for fun - how about some group shots of your parts and subassemblies - that would be cool …. and yes I do like those door handles … worth the time and effort …

  18. Photo 1 - the white metal Miller kit has a nice 2 Piece frame ….

The Miller you are referring to is the 24th scale miller 91 fr Dr produced [still] by sefinecast.co.um. curbside - but they were / are the only craft kit makers I can think of that made Indy kits in 24th scale - on this side of the pond - we’ve always had 25th scale Indy resin kits …. You might not be familiar with the late Chris Etzell’s excellent 25th scale Indy kits - produced 25 - 30 years ago …. And some others by Bill Jorgenson and later - Gary Doucette …. not to mention current EBay offerings by Pennsylvania resin castor Silvercitymodels … [also very good]. Which is why I apologized at the top of this thread for persisting in creating a 24th sc Indy Miller … hope this adequately confuses things …
