Maybe a jalopy, maybe a super..........

Here's what I did with a bunch of Big Donkey Resin parts.
I only added some Evergreen pieces, grill shell, a steering wheel, decals and the parts box Nailhead motor.

 I love the general style, but feel its about two scale feet too long in the nose. The nailhead is a classic power plant choice, nicely weathered. The radiator hoses, and radiator cap, missing is unfortunate.

Thanks for the positive replies everyone. Yes, Tom, it turned out a bit long. 

[john2]

Agreed, Hondo.  Negative comments have no place here. 

Good work.  It's a nice model.  There have been some that long somewhere.

That is a neat race car very clean and by the way what kit did the nail head come from? it sure looks right at home in the engine bay.

Great looking build.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks "mean" just sitting there.....!

I'm liking a lot of things on this race car. It reminds me of a type of race series they run in England. Forget the name of it.

[Hondo]

Hey folks, thanks again for the nice replies.

FordGuy, that motor from my parts box was from about a '62 Buick kit or most likely a '40 Ford Coupe kit from many years ago.

Very nice clean build.
We had some this long, in central Pa. in the sixties.

That paint scheme is killer. There were a few of those long boys in N. Cal in the 60's also. The track was a 5/8 then and so the turns were a little longer than the shorter tracks. I don't think this wheel base would fair to well on the 1/4 mile bull rings. But...as we all know...Ya got to get out there(on the track) and give 'er hell....

Gary Davis....
Were you ever at the Clovis,CA track?
Was that a half mile?
Was there once in the fall of 1972 for a Sun. afternoon open comp race.

[Gary Davis]

Hey Ed...never been to Clovis. It was  a 1/5th mile track to start with and then went to 1/2 mile from 1950-1976.
Man...I sure miss the Sunday afternoon Races at Shasta speedway, Anderson Ca. I lived about 1 1/2 miles from the track. I could hear the open comp cars hot lap'in from there. that was in the mid 60's. It was dirt then. And if I remember right...it was a 3/8 track then. Man...standing in the pits( 11:00 Sunday morning) in my white pants and taking in the smell of fresh wet dirt(clay..sorta) and Alcohol from the Super's was just way to cool. That memory is BLAZED in my brain forever.
