Another "Deal's Wheels Never Was" . . . this one inspire by Dave Deal's original artwork , I finished it a couple of months ago after it sat unfinished for six year's . It's based on a Monogram shortened body/frame and has fabricated headers/engine , front and rear suspension , and wheels . Other bits and pieces are from the Monogram kit and my parts box .

The biggest hurdle was coming up with a driver and is one of the reasons it got shelved many years ago . I finally settled on modifying a Deal's Wheels head and creating the body using Apoxie Sculpt .

Paint is Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red and TS-13 Clear .

A fun and very long build . I hope you like it !
