Todd Carmichael #2- 410 sprintcar
« on: October 12, 2017, 04:35:14 PM »
This 410 ran in Northern Calif. for two seasons....02-03. They blew the engine at the end of the 03 season and that was the end of Todd's Dirt runs for a few yrs. He then went into the Super late models and also ran the N. Calif circuit. But...this build is of the #2 410.. 

I started with the Gambler chassis from one of the Monogram kits. The chassis they ran was a J&J. So...I had to remove and add bars to get it to a J&J. I fabbed the the oil tank out of evergreen and made the front crossover pipe on the front of the engine from the same. They ran only one engine breather and that was in the front on the crossover pipe. All the body panels and hood where also fabbed. The cockpit has fabbed gauges along with a Kirkey seat from DIRT MODELER. Engine is plumbed and wired. Decals are made in house and the paint is duplicolor.   

The 1/1 at Chico California....


The engine....




Chassis w/ head restraints, seat, dash,engine, in place..
 

Finished car....w/o the wing and hood...(nice and Clean...LOL)....

Gary, I have hereby awarded you the modeling Clay Kemp (SY Young) award. Or maybe I should award Clay the Gary Davis award. This is true awesomeness!

Thanks Bob...Hands are ok.. up to the second cup of coffee. As far as the eye sight goes.... I use binocular magnifiers to build with these days. It looks kinda like a watch repair guy at work... I had a few more 1/43 scale builds that I want to do but...it needs to be done soon (with in a year or two...I'm judging) or I can shelve that build idea...
