    I am scratch building another 70s supermodified that ran on the West Coast with the 3 car of Kaeding. This one was driven by Nick Recsino in 75 and won a ton of races. Here's the model, I'm working on and the real car.

    I'm attempting to scratch build an 1/8 scale model of the #3 supermodified that Howard kaeding drove in the 60s and 70s. Here's a how it looks sitting in the Sprint Car Hall Of Fame. And here where I'm at with building the model. still needs some tweeking, but it's getting there.

    Actually all the pictures I have from that year, this car had the more conventional sprint car headers. I do need to learn how to make them look dirty. They used let the exhaust pipes rust up, which would be anothe cool touch. Some guys can do that just perfect and others, not so much.

    Manzanita was a great track; I wish it was still around. I finally got the tires and wheels done so I can build some fun stuff.

    I'm building this for the AZ Motor sports Hall Of Fame in Phoenix. It will be the Stanton #75 house car that ron Shuman drove back in 1979 and 80. This is a mock up with the parts I've made so far.

    I sell them. I would like to keep them all.
  13. Old Sprinter
    Almost done.

    I sort of have one of those STP cars. I didn't exactly build it but I lighten it up by drinking what was in it. LOL

    It's been my experience that, in 1/8 scale, aftermarket speciality parts are extremely hard to find. You can scratch build anything you want or have Shapeway (3D printing) make it for you at a cost. !/8 scale is where it's at and good luck with your building.

  17. Old Sprinter

    Howard is Brent's Dad. Big time racing, multi time champion, family. When I raced, in the 70s, Howard was the hot shoe around northern California and Neveda. It was said that he invented the "San Jose Slide Job" Good people!
  22. Old Sprinter
    I think he is and thanks Bill. Here's what it will look like soon.

    So the next guy in line is Bud Kaeding. This is his 2012 wing sprint I'm building. I almost done; got a few more things to do and decals. Hoping to finish before next weekend as he's here racing until the 3rd.
  24. Old Sprinter
    Nice work, Rob
  25. Old Sprinter
    Converting this over to a dirt car, the guy in SA tried to bone me for the money so I contacted the next guy inline and I'm building his winged sprinter.
