"Ole Black Magic" Is 99% complete. Needs drag link and hood pins to finish. This car was built to depict a Mid`60s Winged Modified that were refered to as Skeeters in the southeast. Heres a few almost complete shots,

Ron... That is beautiful.

You know I live over in the next state to the west of you and was lucky enough to witness several "Skeeter" races in the mid to late 60's and you pulled yours off well.

The races I saw were all on 1/4-5/8's mile paved tracks... The front runners normally used older sprint car frames and bodies... They were all running fuel injected big block engines using alcohol mixed with a little nitro.... The hot flames from the headers, the smell and your burning eyes was so sweet.

You have sparked me into maybe building one myself... Thanks Ron.
