The forward section of the chassis has a cross-brace that evolved fr the first to the third series A6GCS chassis - this is a drawing of the frame on the Series I - which is what i think was raced at Sebring in 54 - would have been a 53 car - which i think was Series I …

The engine bay chassis tubes are slightly smaller than the main chass tubes- used .100 Evergreen rod - and thin Evergreen sheet to box the forward floor boards …

The kit frame members are valuable as a guide for my drawings - but not much more … the chassis tubes are .125 Evergreen tubing with a flat scraped w an Xacto …

Back to the Maser: I stared and stared and stared at the chass plate and figured that i had to replace it - because the resin plate is too thick … the new chass plate is abbreviated so i can install the drive train and the tanks etc -

My own interest in the Miller Ford kit that he produced - i bought one - wish i had bought two - stems fr a chance encounter w the Miller Novi at Amelia 11 years ago - spectacular car - scale incidentally - is 25th - Gary was old school …

Gary Doucette - actually - he lived in a suburb of Toronto - Scarborough - had lunch w him in Toronto - maybe ten years ago - to talk models and pick up my kit order - nice fellow- he was focusing on producing resin kits of Indy cars that had not yet been made - - thinking now that he passed away more like six or seven years ago - he ended up with a fairly impressive line of kits - -

This was a kit produced by a very creative modeler who passed away about - - - four ? years ago - lived in the Toronto area …

William Taylor’s Lotus bible has a good spread on Clark’s 39B -
