    I will paint the cab and hood white,mask off the stripes and arrows.then paint it dark green.I will remove the masks and use thinner strips of tape to deliniate the outlines then paint it lime green metallic but only in the designated areas .

    Next project;Revell Perter built 359.Wow!this one is a lot easier to build than the old AMT big rigs I built in the '70s.The frame and axle mounting points are all in one piece so building the chassis is a snap!No alignment problems!I plan to paint it like the old Kenworth from the TV Series Movin; On.Should be fun!

    They look good but they need stripes like Movin' ON!

    Looks like an Aurora Mercer or Stutz.

    He should not have raced it if the owner did not absolve him of financial liability if he blew the engine.When you push a race car these things can and do happen.This should have been clearly spelled out in a contract if the driver has any sense in these litigious times!

    My friend Dave got one similar to that for his birthday but it had a long sissy bar and speedo.His dad took the cable off after he hit the curb and blew the front tire because his eye was on the speedo and not the road!

    Very cool!There is at least one documented case where a customer ordered a 427 in a brown station wagon.The guy was a dentist and he had to wait several months for it.

    Hey Harry,I think i read somewhere that when you build a Pocher it is advisable to pre-drill the holes for the body screws.Your experience?

    Great job!I don't think I have ever seen one built to such a high standard!The photoetched headlight stone-shields are a nice touch.

  16. philo426

    Looks good but it has to have headlights of some kind.

    i used the plastic parts from the Hot wheels '40 and '32 Fords to fit an old Aurora 3 gear chassis.

    I tried the new version but it was buggy and non-functional so I switched back to the older version which worked much better.

    I think Matchbox made a diecast version of that Benz in the early seventies!

    Looks like you painted it Moulin Rouge!
