Looks very authentic. The high stance bothers me, but I have to keep remembering that it's about winning races, not looking cool, haha!! I like the controlled weathering, just enough to get the point across without getting too crazy. Nice work!

It was a product of using a truck frame and running gear. in hindsight I would have modified the front cross member to lower it a little, but it is a crude little home brewed jalopy so I'm not getting hung up about it.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!! I love it!! This is just the kind of stuff we need around here to inject some new enthusiastic, excitement into some of us stodgy old set in our everything has to be clean and perfect ways old selfs, me at least!!
You can almost see and hear that thing ripping around a dirt or even asphalt track shooting flames as it enters and exits each turn with those flexi headers flailing around! I like it, it's dusty, dirty and just like you used to see running around the quarter and 3/8 mile ovals. I remember seeing the later thirties, forties and fifties oval track cars done to just about this level of finish, looks like the just finished start of the season kind of car.
Something that would be really cool would be to build two of these cars side by side, one a start of the season or just finished car, the other a well seasoned, slightly bent, repaired patched and sort of painted and even modified running gear as things either wore out or the owner found the need for more speed!
