Since we're on a CanAm kick. Started over 2 years ago, decided to finish it. Based on a Heller 917 kit, resin body.
Front tube frame 50% scratch, 50% Heller. Rear tube frame 100% scratch. Interior 100% scratch, powertrain 100% Heller, oil lines and ignition wires added. Most of it not seen ever again:
Coupe chassis in background.
Resin body in primer coat
The finished product:
cheers Paul

Geez, Paul, are you some sort of modeling masochist? Protar, UPC/Bandai, IMC and now Heller? Your nerves must be shot! Seriously, that thing looks "right" from any angle, congrats!

Very nice. Is that body still available somewhere?
Asking for a friend. . .

Very nice. Is that body still available somewhere? Asking for a friend. . . I don't know. I got mine off EBay, a few years ago. No idea who made it. The casting is a bit rough, but it cleans up easily (soft resin). Chris Hale has one, or did.

I love it Paul. Your happy relationship with brutal kits is an inspiration to me. Lol. Great work as always.

Thanks guys. I don't mind Heller kits, they just take longer! Which is just as well, as I'm still working on the Heller 917K to go beside the spyder.

So, the coupe version. Vic Elford's Sebring winner close as I could get it. Indycals decals somewhat modified to fit the Heller kit, worked out not too bad. Tube frame was part kit and ended up mostly scratch built.
