Time to glue the body down onto the base - which I was worried about because of the resin body flex - which is pronounced … so I’ve added some strip to the base and drilled holes for bolts that i hope will hold the assembly in place …

Another revu of the contemporary pix shows me that the Goodyear markings on the tires are too large - the Goodyear tire markings on the Model Factory Hiro sheets are the correct size - and I’ve got an extra sheet from a Porsche 909/3 kit [long story] - so i scraped off the decals that i applied last month and put on the MFH markings …

The artwork on the license plate on the VRM sheet is terrific - and this was the plate for 2287 - which traveled with the car throughout its the ‘64 racing season - at the track it was set into the door cut-out …

the deck got some trimmed panels and fuel pipes and wiring

If i drank too much Dog Fish Head beer - I’d weigh 250 pounds - Dog Fish Head is really good beer - but at the the end of the day (or bar) - i’d still weigh 250 pounds …

Yes, Michelle - but its still …. weight

I like the look if the 2 door - but the weight gives me pause …

Yup

On the wet lawn at Amelia this weekend …

Gramps - does that VRM Corvette sheet have the markings for the 1960 Camoradi racing Vette number 4 ?? ???

Yup

So who can we convince to make the Joe Hunt markings as decals ?

This is the 270 Offy in the Belanger Special - the Indy Museum brought it to Amelia this weekend …

I think it’s really cool that the first Mark IV Tribute is dressed in white and dark blue - i’ll order mine with a flat blue bonett - that OK ?

Rats V - i should have snuck back over to the Biltmore before i left town - that Mark IV looks rather nice … that lovely Silver British tourer that I was drooling over is a 1935 SS - pre-Jaguar - Airline Saloon - one of 16 survivors -

Thank you Cliffhanger - did not know that the Henry Ford had obtained Friedman’s photos …

One of my favorite IMSAs ... do you have the markings to do this in 1/24th ??

Not looking… leering … or is it learing ??

you'll actually have time to run the first practice in two Tuesdays ... I'm not so sure that 2287 will get any practice sessions - maybe the night session ... well done ...

The Brumos Collection in Jacks has some outstanding Miller engines on display - thinking ….

Gramps - I just went thru the entire standard font library on Word Perfect - over 200 styles - and I got bad news I think team Cunningham taped up the outline and brush painted the numbers ... ain't no such font - says I - ... ....

well - farewell to that '64 Sebring GTO - nice save on that rear deck ...

the tires are the parts that most confound scratch builders - and these seem to be the parts best rendered 3D - great stuff !!

Torsion bars front and back - kit supplied brass w soldered brass tube at each end for the housings for nickel pins - then chemically blackened - this arrangement can be seen on the photontjat Randy D posted two weeks ago …
