Sprue-ce Goose

Do you recall the name of company that made the race car kit ?

I know it's an Offenhauser from an AMT Indy car kit, but I'm not sure which one. I'm thinking it's a 1970's version, like the old Rutherford car, but DO NOT quote me on that!Surprise The Potvin blower and header came from other kits (AMT Chevy parts pack engine and Revell '29 model A pickup, respectively.)

 

Thanks for the comments guys- I've got plenty more "Military Themed" rat rods in the cards!

I'd really like to apologize now for anything I may say or do later that offends you. Thank you.

  If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger

Cool build photos....I got lost for a while sifting thru your albumn of builds.

Dodge L-700 truck looks like a good kit; shame Lindberg didn't include an Allison with the kit like your build.

Your build comments mentioned the engine for the Olds Hot Rod came from a race car kit.

Do you recall the name of company that made the race car kit ?

What do you get when you combine a Beverly Hillbillies truck kit, plenty of spare and scratchbuilt parts, a few aircraft cues (crank-driven blower, raked side pipes, taillamps which resemble wingtip clearance lamps), and some spare decals from a buddy's 1:24 German bomber?

Funny you should ask...
