Well....I think I figured this thing out...not sure as of yet though. This site will only let me post three pics at the size they're at now(640x480). I'll down size a few(5) and try to load all of them at once. Anyway...in the mean time....this is the Monogram midget that was issued waaaaaay back in 1954. It is pretty sparce but...it is something to work with. This puppy scales out to 1/18th on the nose. Everything in white on this build is fabbed up parts. I'll add more in a bit.

Gary, I have no idea how many times I have built this as a slot car, it's nice to see it being build as a scale model. The workmanship is top notch as we'd all expect.

Awesome. This is a 1954 kit? Man I was 6years old when that kit came out. Looking good.

Hey Guys...thanks for the kind words. I"m still trying to figure out Photobucket and the Proboards relationship. I can't post pics on the Traditional Rod and Kustom site either( it's also Proboards). I can post on ALL of the other forums though....S.A....Modelcars...Modelers Haven..but not any Proboards... I put a call into a good freind who's pretty sharp with the forum stuff. I'm waiting for a call back.

Thanks again folks...Here is a try at a few more pics...ALL the white plastic is fabbed stuff.. The cam cover and head where cut in and fabbed. The Mag top with plug wire studs was also made. Kit motor..... Fabbed parts.... Some of this info is coming from different points of the build. I had to figure out the posting pic thing. But...being that we're all builders...I figured that it wouldn't be to hard to figure out...well..if it's too confusing..let me know...

Nice work Gary. That in and out box looks like a kit part. Thanks for sharing this build. I am digging it.
