Very nicely done sir. You must be very pleased with the way it turned out.

This looks great!

The scratch built frame and all the radius bar jewelry and stuff is fantastic - what kit (and driver figure) did this start life as?

What exactly are we looking at, is it that 'modern release' 1/25 Revell Midget V8-60 kit?

Absolutely beautiful, well done. Now THAT'S model car racing!

Thanks for the photo, and... Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)

Thanks again Harry for posting this for me . And thank you everyone for all the nice compliments. I started out with a Revell Kurtis Midget Racer model kit. V8 60 kit. The driver is from Jimmy Flintstone resin. Expensive ,but it worked fine. The whole chassis is scratch built. I used a S&L slim can motor in it . It just fit nicely in there. And I used some vintage aluminum wheels and the threaded knock offs that I had laying around. And the tires are vintage also. I sprayed the body with Dupli-color primer and top coated with Dupil-color black metallic. Then sprayed it with automotive clear. This is my first Midget that I built. I built a lot of other cars . But this is the first. Thanks again for everyone's replies. And the Boss for posting my pictures for me. Much appreciated. I hope to put more on. Bob...............

That is down right SWEET!!!
Bravo sir!!!

Just ordered RGEO wire bending machine. I have to build one of these! Maybe if we can get a few more people building these we can have a midget proxy! Some for you SKILLED scratch builders have given me the itch! :text-thankyouyellow:

Beautiful car Bob! the paint looks miles deep. I am a huge fan of midgets, and yours is one of the best!

Thanks again everyone. Hey Bob. When I saw all the beautiful midgets that you put out. I said I have to build one. Back to the work bench. Talk to you all later. Bob...................
