This is a replica of the Emrich Chevrolet number 1 driven by Lynn Paxton.
The mechanic on the car was Ree Smith, father to current sprint car drive Mark Smith.
Chassis was built by Kenny Weld.

I'm using an Edmonds kit for this build.
Frame lengthened with round aluminum tubing.
Edmonds hood lengthened and widened.
Open areas in hood  filled in with CA glue and baking soda.

Front and rear bumper made from plastic coated wire.
Tires and wheels by Big Donkey Resin.

I hope you enjoy looking at this one.
Decals need applied and some small parts attached and it will be finished.

Liking this one a lot Bob. Cool front suspension modification to the kit frame. Looking forward to seeing it with the decals on.

Yes, another beauty.  The tail tank is of interest to me.  Unusual.  Rounded like a sprinter, yet flat on top.  Great job, Bob.
