(FINISHED) Pee Wee Pobletts #46 1962 season

[Bob P.]

This is a replica build of the #46 driven by Pee Wee Pobletts in 1962, at Williams Grove and Lincoln speedways in Pa.
The car had a Pontiac hood ornament and the Indian face lit up when racing. This car raced on dirt tracks and had a glass windshield. During the early sixties several cars ran windshields, but by late 1962 they were all replaced with screen.

I would like to thank the following people for providing the components to accomplish this build.

Greg Holland for providing the Pontiac hood ornament. This was designed and printed on a 3-D printer.

Big Donkey resin for the two resin body's used for this build. Also the tires, wheels and quick change rear.

Polecat decals.


This was a challenging build but it was fun.

Great job Bob. You sure nailed the look and sit on this replica. Looking at your different angle shots gave me that neat feeling I use to get when walking in the pits back in the 60s...

[Bob P.]

Too answer a couple questions. No, the hood ornament on the model don't light up.

The hood ornament was designed and printed on a 3-D printer by Greg Holland.  VSRN on this site.

Thanks Bob.

The hood ornament could be made in "clear" acrylic, which would allow you to drill a
tiny hole for a mini LED bulb, in order for the light to work.

For a first try, we decided that this would be even more involved than it already was,
so Bob decided not to have this one light up. Maybe if there is a next one !

As I've told Bob -, this is a stunning model!
