Very nicely done and accurate replica, Slim!!!  It sure is sad that Sachs as well as many other greats lost their lives during the 60's...The cars were beauties but so unsafe right along with the Indy cars where Sachs perished. gb😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

WOW!!! 
Neat looking car!!

Remember back in the day.....somewhat......that Indy car drivers raced other cars within USAC, from midgets to sprints to Champ Dirt cars(the latter at that time, part of the Indy car "trail") and their stock car series.....

The last photo before all things were put back together, I could see a diorama of this one with the complete frame as shown, then hanging above it, the interior section, followed by the roll cage and the body hanging about it all....!!

Another awesome build, Tom. It's sad that Sachs was involved in that incident at Indy in 1964. I was listening to it on the radio when it happened. We also lost Dave McDonald that day. It was so very sad.
