66 Lloyd Ruby update.

[kuzlynn]

Finally had a chance to finish up the 66 Lloyd Ruby Eagle. I will be not shipping this kit until I am caught up sending out the 66 Gurney car. I have really been overwhelmed with the amount of orders for this new kit. I am trying to do my best to make sure everyone receives their kits before I start shipping the new Ruby car. If you preordered one of each kit, I will be shipping them together. I had a lot of fun doing this kit and it really peaked my interest doing a mid-sixties Indy car. Hope to do more in the future. Speaking of future plans, I will be doing the 36 Grand Prix Eagle and hope to have it finished this summer. Then round out the year with the 67 Eagle. If you haven’t received your kit yet, please be patient it will be coming. Thanks and will keep you posted

Kevin, the Ruby car looks great! Glad to hear of the interest in ‘60s cars and the upcoming’67 Eagle.

How does the Ruby car differ from the Gurney car? I just received my Gurney car and it looks really nice, but I was thinking of doing it in the Ruby colors and numbers unless there's a noticeable difference in the two cars. I think there were about 6 different Eagles that year and I was looking through my Indy 500 book by Jack Fox to see the different color schemes used that year.

The main difference is the side fuel tank blister. The Gurney version has a much smaller one.

Gotcha. That's funny...my girlfriend says the same thing about me.

Well, Ruby WAS from Texas!

Mine just arrived today and all I can say is WOW!!! Kevin - You have outdone yourself on this one. The shapes look great and the casting is flawless. I favor this one over the Gurney version only because I am a real fan of Lloyd Ruby. I know you are doing the Grand Prix version next. Thank you so much for what you create and deliver!
