Title: The M-6
Post by: Rich Sipos on September 25, 2017, 07:15:30 AM

This is the start of the gene Bergin driven M-6 that raced in New England in the 60's and 70's. There were many different versions of the car and a few other drivers. This will be one from 62/63 The Picture is at Thompson Ct. I am using the AMT 37 Chevy for the body and chassis and Evergreen plastic for scratch building. Enjoy

Rich, I hope you build that cool skirted push truck, with the gum ball light on top as well. This is a great old picture, of a great old race car. I know you will do it justice.
