Wow, thanks for all the comments, guys! I really do appreciate it. Hopefully I can get the finishing touches on soon and get this "Under Glass"!

I saw your car at GSL.  Now everyone can see how great it is.  Picture was taken from my phone, so is out of focus a bit.

As I remember, Lloyd qualified poorly, but moved up rapidly.  A drive gear broke and put him out.  The car was a development of the Brabham chassis that first appeared in 1964.

For old Indy cars, I heartily recommend Karl Ludvigsen's series Indy Cars of the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s.

X2. Your Indy cars from the muscle car era are a delight to see because you execute the crafting of them so well. That goes for your other subjects as well, so I look forward to see what you come up with next.

Just a superb build of this model my friend!!!!  All your extra work really pays off in the finished model.

Thanks, Randy! It's not quite done, though. I still need to get some wheels from you!

Nice work on the Ruby Car. To me he was one of those guys when you mentioned Loyd Ruby you thought The indy 500. I love the older Indy stuff. It was a time of innovation. Novi's, roadsters,rear engine cars, side pod cars, turbines man I loved Indy back then. Again the Ruby Mongoose is a blast from the past. Great work.
