1/8 Scale Offy Midget

[Old Sprinter]

.I put 3 layers of .60 styrene over the PVC pipe, on both sides, with each layer being a smaller dia.. Then putty between the edges, file and sand until smooth , cut in side grooves and paint with rubber black. These are some dirt tires I am experimenting with. The rims are just PVC pipe with the correct O.D. and I fit a center peice to it using styrene and cover it with brass or aluminum sheet.

Alll right this guy is ready to bust off and go racing ( except for seat covers and numbers) I've got some cool numbers coming but if any of you do or know someone that could make some decals/lettering for this please let me know. I either going to build that KK midget from the Madd Fabricator or an cool looking offset sprint car next. Maybe both. Thanks for all you comments along the way, it really encourages me to give it my best. Ken

Thank you Sir. I have loved sprints and midgets all my life and am lucky enough to have a new hobby building them.

That is one fine SCRATCH built model. Detailed to run.
