Title: Last 3 models
Post by: john2 on November 27, 2020, 08:57:53 PM
Last summer I said I wouldn't show anymore models, but these are the final ones, and I like all of them.

'32 coupe, '32 sedan, and '37 Chevy.  Click for larger images.

Great job on those cars John.  I really like them all.  Did you use the 6 cylinder engine in the 37? and does the coupe and sedan run flatheads?

 Great work John. I agree with some others, that the orange coupe is a classic.
  The local track that they are currently trying to shut down here is very short, and always has been. So with almost no straights, a big V8 didn't have that much of an advantage, especially back when it was still dirt. So we saw a lot of six cylinder cars back in the day. This build really brings back memories.

thanks

 :) Glad you like them, Sid.  Well, there are no build threads.  I am pretty much computer dumb, but my wife knows  lots of stuff. 

So, if you would like to send me an email address by personal message, I think we could get you some larger pictures, or a street address, some hard copy by regular mail.  Might take a little time, but I think we can help you. 

They are pretty simple, straight forward models.  No great detail.  I am artistic, and not mechanical, so all I know about cars, is what I have learned building models.

I find by clicking on the pictures originally posted it says to click to enlarge. If I hold down Ctrl and scroll with mouse it enlarges the pic also. I am also computer illiterate.

in addition to the mechanicals, one of the things which draws me to these/ this era, cars is their appearance.

"... cars must appear at the track in a presentable condition. cars, all or partly painted with primer may compete for one week only."

quoted from the California Roadster Association, Incorporated "Limitations and Restrictions for the Track Roadster"
