Brianl Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Had this one in the back of my mind for ages - T Bucket - tracknose - Le Mans Peugot 905 suspension, wheels & transaxle - Ford Nascar motor Named it after the old Formula 5000 cars I used to watch as a teenager Real one would be a blast!!

cobraman Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 That sucker is very, very cool. I love what you did with the mirrors. Nice job !
Austin T Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Did yo use an exhaust pipe as the start for your mirrors?It looks very cool.
Jantrix Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Oh man. That is VERY cool. Great imagineering.
Antikainen Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 This is soooo cool and professionally crafted model!
Roger U Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 That is really awesome, a unique and interesting idea and built very nicely.
doggie427 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Beautiful !! Reminds me of Chauvin Emmons' Watson nosed Indy-style roadster from the early '60's.
bryan_m Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 wow! thats a wild lookin ride, and youre right, a 1:1 would be a ton of fun! bryan
IMSANUT Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Very cool and waaaaay outside the box. I love it!
Lunajammer Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 The helmet is a nice touch, but you better include a will.
Brianl Posted November 15, 2012 Author Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the positive feedback gentlemen Austin - the mirrors came about because I wanted an F1 type wheel with paddle shifts so no dash. I just stuck some Evergreen tube in place of the dash, added the mirrors & some bog Turned out OK Wayne - thanks for the Chauvin Emmons note. I looked him up. What an awesome life & so sad to loose him - The man built great cars & obviously had a LOT of fun doing it. Cheers Brian
JasonFL Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 This thing is so cool, real unique. Not to mention its hammered to the ground. Everything just flows very nicely like its supposed to be that way. You have one hell of an imagination, nice build.
