I started the 67 Gerhardt / Offy two weeks ago, the 67 Eagle about 25 or 30 years ago. Hope to finish the Gerhardt sometime but no plans to finish the Eagle, just wanted to set it next to the Gerhardt for comparison.   |

The Gerhardt would be a great choice for a kit!

Both of those are very cool. I'd be in for at least two.

Thanks, Lance. Really were special cars in the late 1960s which were quick, dependable, and reliable. Several teams successfully fielded Gerhardts with notable drivers. This will be a good addition to kits from this era. Looking forward to the release.

I'd be in for a couple myself! You have so many great cars started and close to ready to go, how do you chose which one you're going to release next? A short time ago you were working on a Shrike and before that you had a 76/77 Parnelli, and from your old website you had started the 70 and 71 McNamaras and a Scorpion. All great cars and I'm sure there's many more I missed. It's always exciting to see what one you're going to release next!

There are so many cool cars and to little time, Attention Deficit Disorder may come into play as well. I will be the first to admit my interests can change quickly from one subject to another and I find it nearly impossible to work on something I am not totally captivated by, and there you have it as to why I have so many unfinished projects. I used to think I would have time to finish everything I wanted to model but it has become very clear this will not happen. I have long wished I could start a project and see it through to completion without getting distracted by other projects but I am just not wired that way.

I’m looking forward to seeing these get built. Gerhardts were pretty cars that get overlooked. I would definitely buy two if you ever made kits of them!

I'd definitely buy one. Would you ever consider doing a '69 or '70 Gerhardt? I really like the Gary Bettenhausen Thermo King cars from those years.

Have two 1967 Gerhardt resin bodies in 1/32 , those seller said it was done by Bob Clidinst.Who is Bob ? Is he still active in the indy modelling world ? So maybe someone knows if a version complete for slot racing got released ? Thank you for any info on those rare things.
oh, this place is so entertaining, forgot it is 1.27 A.M. in my country, now, time to go to bed !

No kit, The body was built using strip plastic on bulkheads using the Juanjo Mas method. I think the tail cone came from a Lotus Ford. The Offy is from a aftermarket supplier--I don't remember which one. Wheels and tires from parts box. The steering is posable.   kip |
