Claude Thibodeau Posted June 1 Posted June 1 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! CT 9

Dragline Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM No kidding! That's awesome. Although I do see those stupid 3 wheel abominations around in the summers here. This one is a far cry from those things. Raptors or T-Rex, or some such nonsense. I guess if you cannot keep 2 wheels up, these are the next best thing? 1
