You will see by the name that I gave this car that it was a bit of a p.i.t.a.. Chassis was severely warped and took a bit of finesse to get it right.

Even though it was not one of MY favorites , it did make in into Model Cars magazine NNL East photo

I had to build a cage as the kit parts were unusable.

You can see how far off the chassis was. I had to cut here to remove the tension and twist.

Finally got it to sit nice so I painted it! Added fuel lines and plug wires. Scratchbuilt magneto

Hard plastic tires didn't want to scuff up. They will have to do

The name of the car says it all!
