MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Ian McLaren
    As far as I know the Mageaus purchased this body new and ran it as the Prospector with essentually the same livery from that date untill now. Jay did tell me he asked McEwan if he had any problems with the all Red scheme, and was told in as much as it was going to be a Division Six car and unlikely to tour too far from here, there was no problem.. The above car does appear to be out of the same mold that I believe was made by Steve Davis and Bill Loper. Base on a 7/8th scale Thundercarft body, it was cut and modified to a stock looking although somewhat lengthened profile.

    One chassis two bodies, just like the real car ran.
  3. Ian McLaren
    Yup, it looks kind of like a stock 57, but that not Toms car. This was the second body out of the same mold. It's called the Prospector and was built and run out of Edmonton Alberta as an AA/FC, with Toms blessing as I understand it. There is also a 57 Black Widow street car in the fleet along with these three.

    Yellow base coat on to allow laying out and masking the Yellow graphics on the body, also working on the chassis to add all of the major areas where clearance issues migh arise when mounting the two different bodies.
  5. Ian McLaren
    OK here comes the twist on this one. The real car runs two different bodies, one for nostalgia events and another for match races, the 57 Chev for nostalgia and this for match racing. So I'm doing both bodies and they will fit the chassis without having to make any changes to the chassis to fit either body just as in the real car.

    Jim thank you so much!
  7. Ian McLaren
    Thank you John, stay tuned for a twist on this one.

    Got the body halfs joined, and added the roof hatch and inner fender extensions

    I'm really liking this project, as per usual your fabrication is spot on, love the front struts. I'm also enjoying your finishes clean, appropreate and scale looking, not too much bling. Well done!

    Got this STL file from New Zealand, and the body printed very well with few issues as did the chassis from another source. Not absolutely sure which car I'm going to do.
  11. Ian McLaren
    The Vega has not been forgotten, parts have been printed and or built, Chassis has progressed and the new wheelsare inpaint right now. Another update shortly. Very , very rough draft of the graphics.
