Parnelli roadster

[Lizard Racing]

Please see my other topic: "40 Years of Indy Cars" in the Under  Glass forum. Per suggestion, I resurrected my old Parnelli Jones '63 Indy winner and the first car over 150 mph at the speedway.

It started as the AMT combination kit with the Lotus-Ford.

AMT must have used up all the budget for this kit on the chassis. It's great, even by today's standards. The real downfall, along with the Lotus is the tires. They are 'way too tall and have the wrong wheel size. What is on the car now are the front kit tires on the back and the tires from a street kit on the  front.  I know Indycals offers a set of '63 Indy tires, but they are a bit too expensive for me.

Here's the body primed and ready for the painting template provided by Indycals. The decals look great, but you have to paint the blue parts between the red scallops yourself.

I will update this thread when the body is done. Thanks for watching.

I'll be following along George.
