The XP87, or Bill Mitchell's 1959 Sting Ray racer was a solid resin casting done for Bill Landis and Dave Sposaro and was based upon a Scuderia Scale vacuum formed slot car body. I had to do some reshaping of the fenders and other details. -

Yes, the '55 Ford Panel is the Monogram kit backdated to a stock original. Glad you liked it. -
Footnote: These are a mix of 1/25-1/24 plastic, scrachtbuilds, and diecast. In the '30s, i.e. the Stutz, cars were driven to Le Mans but needed support vehicles.

DeAgostini Le Grandi Ferrari diecasts?
Gramps46 replied to djflyer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Tim, it has been a few years since I got the TDF but I am guessing I bought it on eBay from a vender in Italy. Helmut might have better info from the ebays in Europe. -
Neat finds Ron. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Porsche 917 Lemans 1970 Winner
Gramps46 replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Oh my yes. The color, the decals, the details are all spot on. Using a small clip is a great idea. I might have to think seriously about getting one of these kits.- 25 replies

Sunbeam Tiger vs. Shelby Cobra Duel
Gramps46 replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Bravo Pierre on he the pair of racers. You captured the period perfectly as I remember them from the '60s when I went to the races. I am also starting to envy the freedom you took to do it your way.
