Title: McCredy / Bill Wimble Modified
Post by: Danh4 on October 16, 2023, 08:06:30 PM
Here's a McCredy / Bill Wimble coupe that I just finished.  It started out as an MPC "Wild One" frame with all of the suspension pieces removed and replaced with a scratchbuilt Flemke front end.  The body is resin from Mike's Decals and the cage, floor, etc, was built by me from plastic tube and sheet.  Resin wheels, tires, radiator and a few under-hood details are from Ron Coon Resin and Mike's Decals.  Decals are from Polecat Decals.

I commented over on Ayers NASCAR forum, but I'll comment here too. That is a great looking model. Like the redesigned front suspension. I don't know if you watch MN Max YouTube channel or not. He posted pictures of the 1:1 car on the track yesterday.

Thanks!  I was not aware of that Youtube channel, just watched the one with the Wimble car and will be going back to see the rest, thanks for that!

You're welcome! I've been watching MN Max since his first video. Really good stuff.
