Stephen, Carl, & David,
Thanks for looking and I really appreciate you taking your time to comment. Stephen, did you read any Henry Felson's books? I've used his descriptions from Street Rod and Hot Rod to do a couple of models. Read those in my youth, and now have a few more in my collection.
Yes, I know I read Hot Rod (book title AND the magazine) growing up. I don't recall reading any other of his other books. One of my favorites (besides Green Ghost) was Dirt Track Summer by William Campbell Gault. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!!

VERY cool! Nice build!

I literally read the cover off that book growing up!! It never crossed my mind to build a model of the car in the book!! You have done a great job with this. LOVE it!
-
This is a fantastic build! The duct work detail is incredible!! Amazing!!
-
You did a very nice job on a very old, difficult to build kit. Personally, I love the early 60's Indy roadsters and the mid 60's Indy rear engine cars and the few models there are of them. A very innovative time in history.

Is the the Monogram Sizzler body from the old edition ?
That was my first thought as well.

Well done! That is a bear kitty of a kit to make look good, and you did a great job!

VERY nice!! This turned out sweet! Hope your grandson enjoys it, but at least you had fun building it!

Nice work!!

A beautiful paint job!! Bobby Allison's red/gold paint job was always one of my favorites. You are doing a great job on this project.

I believe, in that era, the chassis was typically body color. For the K & K car I believe the color was called "poppy red".

HOLY COW man! Incredible, beautiful work! Great job!!

You are doing a great job! It looks really good thus far!

Thank you for the reply. Rattle cans are what I normally use. I've heard Tamiya TS 50 Mica Blue and TS 36 Fluorescent Red are a match(?)
Those are probably as close as you are going to get in "major brand" spray can paint.
As for the black window support bars, I too tape off the windshield and back glass, but instead of a sharpie I spray semi-gloss black paint. Same idea.
