This build was based on using an old Cheez Cast resin body of what was marketed, at the time, as an Opel Pro Mod body. I traded Fletch for the body earlier this year. The body doesn't quite suit itself for the pro mod ranks but better resembles something run in the sportsman categories, either Super Gas or Super Comp. The chassis was a cut down version from a Revell 55 Chevy pro sportsman kit. The rollcage was scratchbuilt using styrene tubing. The engine came from the Revell kit along with resin cast valve covers and Protech resin carbs.. The suspension pieces also came from the Revell 55 kit. The wheelie bars were scratchbuilt using aluminum tubing. The markings are strictly fictitious using a myriad of Slixx decals and Testors paint. The finish was covered with five coats of Duplicolor acrylic enamel clear and rubbed out. I am including a link to the build album for anyone wanting to see more photos. public.fotki.com/1320wayne/project-...artermilers--1/Thanks for looking.

Very Cool Wayne, glad you did something with it otherwise it would be sitting in the box out in the garage until the cows came home.
The detail work is fantastic as always.
Nicely done!
