      From the Hobbit hole.

      Now some of you know I love racing, nearly all kinds. Being born in the 60’s I didn’t get to see the heyday of some of the greatest road racing series ever.

      So I had to pay homage to one of these series.

      The series officially called for Canadian-American tracks it was raced on.

      This was a little more ambitious than my normal entries. I actually modified a Chassis, 😮 yes shocking.

      So here are the shots.

      First up I extended a clone chassis and added the wheels from my Ferrari set. I also put springs for the front suspension.

      I custom built the body (sounds like something I’ve done before.) but the color scheme I needed something that would fit, and I had decals for.

      I had some testers paint pre thinned for the airbrush, but most of the colors looked off for this project.

      Wait there is a decent blue color.

      And it’s Sun Oil Company Blue.

      Now I’ve have it mounted to the chassis.

      I hand painted the numbers, arthritis not too bad today.

      Hope you like.
