  1. Very nice OOB with some great weathering.  I remember, which is a feat now days, when the original care was featured in Rod & Custom mag. It was so cool that I just had to rush out and buy the kit. Thanks for the flash back.

    I'm starting a belly tanker- trying to figure out the exhaust- should be an interesting challenge!

    The Ardun exhaust is unique that the ports exit straight down.  Might need a creative frame design around the engine. Hope to see more of your build. Thanks.

  3. I know the guys at TDR, I believe that's the name, had a 1/8 printed V12 at Shapways that could have been scaled down to any scale. However, I believe, Shapways has gone under and the guys at TDR were a collective on facebook and no longer sell their products.  Please correct me if I am wrong. The data files for thee Allison V12 engine are out there somewhere and digital files can be scaled to any size.

  4. I've come across what is probably the first F1 movie, "The Young Racers", Roger Corman, 1963.  The movie action opens with fabulous shots of the 1962 Monaco race, shark nose Ferraris, Lotus, Coopers, BRMs... Great racing action on many of the old tracks! The story line isn't too bad considering what scripts are like today and maybe better that most.  Must see for early F1 fans.
