Late 60's Offy sprinter
« on: February 10, 2019, 01:23:14 PM »
sentsat71 asked what I have done with the Grant King kit. Here's my version a mixture of the GK kit and the AMT indy roadster cut down to fit.

That sure looks good Frank. A lot of work went into this build to make it look like that. GREAT job..

 :)  Yes, it is.  Very cleanly built.  Wish I could do that, but mine are  pretty sloppy.

Here's a WIP using a similar chassis with a different body.

Very nice clean build on the 44.

What hood and nose cone were used on the work in process build?
It looks similar to a sixties Trevis Craft hood.

That really looks good Frank. It also looks like a Dirt Champcar. Did you fabricate that body?
