Looking for old mag article with Marmon Wasp plans

[ismaelg]

Hello,

For years I've been interested in finding an old magazine article that has full detailed plans on how to scratchbuilt the 1911 inaugural Indy 500 winner Marmon Wasp. I believe the article was written by Joe Henning and the magazine title is something like Rod and Custom Model or something like that. I understand the article was first published in 1964 and then re-printed elsewhere in the late 60's early 70's. Anybody has a copy of this? A scan would be enough for me. Some of you may remember I've posted this request before but no luck so far.

This is the car as it sits today at the Speedway museum.

Thanks,

Ismael,

Just found it for you. I'll copy it and send it to you. Any preference on the page size? Just remember that I'm on dial up. Maybe it would be better to post it on my Photobucket page and you can get it from there. That way if anyone else is interested they can get a copy also.

Luke,

That will be great! The Photobucket idea is good. I really appreciate it!

Glad to do it. It was in the Rod & Custom June '65 in the model section. I'll upload to Photobucket and put a link here on the board.

For others interested it was in the June 1965 issue of Rod & Custom. Joe Henning used a MPC 1928 Lincoln as a starting point. Possibly also of interest is that Lance Sellers is working on a master for the 1911 Marmon, there is a picture of it on the Garage Area/ cars under construction page on his web site. There is no timetable for its completion.
