SPYDER RACER: what if BRP built a racing Spyder for the show circuit?

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi! 

I won an AMT Lola Indy car as a door prize at a show last year, and since I'm not into Indy cars, I wondered what to do with it. So...

Took the floorpan and IFS, scratchbuilt a grille, and used the hood/cowl from an old Monogram Sprint car, all modified. The mags/tires are from the Lola. Scratchbuilt: interior, seat, dash, handlebars, windshield, swingarm, belt and pulley, brakes, cyclop stop, rear bulkhead, etc. . The exhaust pipes are from Testor's Smoothster. Side wings from a Revell plane, truncated. 

The Spyders are already very popular, might be the time for a racing program...

Hours of fun with styrene!

Thank you Larry. The compact aspect of it made it more complicated to build that I expected, but fun nonetheless.

If it were real, it would make for one wild ride - nicely done!
