'50 Merc Lakes Racer

[Marc Weller]

I've been to every Speedweek since '03 (even the rainouts!!). I love the show cars in attendance (Speed Demon, Stupidbaker, Blowfish, etc.) but I have a real soft spot for the beaters which are the inspiration for this, my latest project.

I like the concept especially the Arden Heads. You have been there and seen these racers up close, but I wonder about the Blower Scoop. In my mind I would think that since the Hood Scoop  is taking cold air from the base of the Windshield wouldn't the Blower Scoop be facing that direction rather than toward the hotter under hood air ? 

[Marc Weller]

You are correct and I considered that but it just looked cooler this way and I'm gonna display it with the hood off.

I like the whole idea and the car looks good.

I like the idea as well. Good job Marc.
