Doug Wolfgang Sprint Car

[jlstew25]

Start of my latest project, Doug Wolfgang/Weikert's Livestock sprint car. I'm converting the chassis to a Trostle/Wolfgang designed frame that Doug constructed himself in Bob Trostle's shop:

More to come!

Looking good. What scale is that?

Oh, we will definitely be watching this one! IMHO Doug was one of the best ever. I watched him every Saturday evening running the Weikert car up in Selinsgrove, PA in the mid-to-late 80's. Good Stuff!!

Thanks! Looks like I posted this in the wrong section, but in a newbie here. This is based off of a 1/24 Monogram Challenger kit. I'm redoing the bracing to match the 1:1 car that Wolfie built. I'll be adding one of the resin hoods I've made for the early Gambler cars. Yes, Wolfgang was or is one of the best! It's a shame he got hurt, would like to see him mixing it up with Sammy and Steve! Lots of good stuff on this site!

Not quite "under glass", but a WIP.

Please post in the appropriate spot please.

Got the frame painted and casted myself a Gambler hood. The fuel cell is a spare one that I had, I have a new set of Cady/Wolfgang decals saved for this project. Taking time off next week so hope to get things going!
