Title: #7 flyin' Dutchman
Post by: JimW on November 27, 2017, 08:08:48 PM
model I built of a really good friend of my dad's , Dutch Ter-steegee he raced from around 1962 till 2009 when they closed the OKC speedway Dutch even drove for my dad sometimes , Dutch was from Holland and talked funny o Dutch was a really nice guy but on the track was one tuff driver to get around he could make his car 3 or 4 car wide if he had to  mr brothers and I raced againsed him many night 
the #7 was owned Dewey who owned a 2 pump Texaco gas station that I grew up going with Dad about 2 times a week . I built this model from a pic that hung in the gas station wall for 25 years Dutch raced this car in 1962 and 63

Beautiful replica, Jim!!!  I watched Dutch many Friday nights at State Fair Speedway from early eighties to mid nineties and he was truly a crowd favorite along with many others.  Fantastic build!!!🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁

Beautiful old-schooler, Jim!  Love that engine area detailing and dirt/rust on the front and front suspension.  Perfect!  8) 8)
