Another Parts Box Altered

[6bblbird]

Another orphan that I found in the bowels of my storage trailer. It was mostly complete but needed some TLC and repair to finish it. I may install a parachute cable and it could use a sponsor decal. Mostly left over parts from a AMT Double Dragster kit ( one of my favorites!)

I had some fun making the floor pan from sheet aluminum and using a pounce wheel to add rivet detail.

I bought some HO scale stanchions a while back. They make perfect rod ends for the steering linkage.

This was one of the most relaxing and fun builds in a long time!

The stain on the cylinder head was the result of too much Tamiya panel liner. I was gonna wipe it off, but it looked like a perfect oil leak from the valve cover, so I left it! ?

Wasn't Bob Ross who used to say something like "happy little accidents" ?

Looks the part and overall nicely done.
