22JR roadster slightly smoothed body, dumped the Max-Wedge for a 394 injected Olds from the parts box. Brass pipes, Ball Point pen click buttons for injector stacks. Paint is 54 year old 1968 BMW Colorado Orange Nitrocellulose lacquer. Decals are from GOFER.

very nice! only thing came to mind was, maybe a helmet if ya have one? just to sit on the cowl or something it would make a nice touch but it's not "must have" just my mind having fun with your build :-)

Cool! I dig the vintage look of the paint color and the found-object intake stacks. I bet that straight-piped Olds mill would sound absolutely vicious. I like the stance too, as seen in the rear 3/4 shot. Looks ready to launch!

I actually just put one in the parts box from the 60 Chevy Pick up go-cart kit! It's chrome but nothing dull coat won't fix. Great idea!

Looks great! Goes to prove there’s still a lot of life in the Tony Nancy street roadster kit! Injected Olds engine is a natural power choice and looks right at home between the frame rails!

Oh, the massacre. So many pens sacrificed.
But seriously, cool build. Great stance, and nice color choice.

Cool looking build and very nicely done Paul! I especially like the look of those front wheels. Did you use a black wash on those?

Too nice! That model's sharp as a new #11 blade!
