Dave B Posted September 16 Posted September 16 (edited) Ok, I've finished my streamliner. Scratchbuilt frame under a somewhat modified Hawk/Testor Bonnie Buggy. Flat head and all other items from the parts box, except the scratchbuilt intake and exhaust. At least I finished it!!! Painted in auto acrylic, Triumph Powder Blue, and clear coated. Decals from the spares box. Tks for looking. Dave B Edited September 16 by Dave B cut pic 8
Roger U Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Great looking model. A clean build with a really nice paint job. 1
Bainford Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Very cool build! That is a great looking streamliner. It has a late 50s/early 60s period vibe, and you nailed the look. I'm really digging it. 1
Paul Payne Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Great repurposing of the Hawk streamliners! I have all four, and now I have some inspiration to build one. 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted September 17 Posted September 17 Hi David! Great salt car, bravo! I bought the same "kit", by Hawk, from a collector last year. It was more like a toy, with a rubber band propelling system! It's sitting in the queue for a rebuilt on my bench. maybe next year. Long live the Salt! CT 1
Muncie Posted September 17 Posted September 17 Very Cool and very nicely done. Those old Hawk kits are great raw material and your work has paid off with a great land speed model. I love it (and I have one in the queue as well.) 1
stavanzer Posted September 17 Posted September 17 Man, that just Rocks! Great Streamliner, and excellent Build. Good Show. 1
martsky Posted September 17 Posted September 17 What did you use for wheels/tires? Also, you should be able to sneak a roll bar in there someplace. Love the body side graphics. 1

1959scudetto Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Well done streamliner, Dave ! Looks like it could run about 200 - 250 mph on the salt.... (if the driver has the balls and the nerves) 1
Straightliner59 Posted Sunday at 06:25 AM Posted Sunday at 06:25 AM (edited) Way cool! Nice work, too! Just goes to show that, you don't need to start with a great kit, to build a great model. Edited Sunday at 06:27 AM by Straightliner59 1
Mark W Posted Sunday at 10:26 AM Posted Sunday at 10:26 AM Great flats racer, there’s not enough of these around. Enjoyed seeing this. 1
