1964 Bob Harkey Roadster

[harveythedog2]

Here is my just finished 1964 Bob Harkey roadster.
Donor car was a 1/18th scale Carousel 1 Watson Roadster.
Modifications include cutting the body work out behind the left front tire. This was sometimes done for better cooling I think. The fuel fill was moved from the hump behind the driver to the top of the tail. The tail sail itself was extended and the oil tank scratch built from sheet plastic and Millipit. The scoop and hump on the left front hood were also scratch built.
Special thanks to Michael for providing the Sprit of St Louis and driver and mechanic lettering decals.

I almost forgot the most important person! Walt!!! If it wasn't for Walt, I would have never been able to duplicate the logo on the right hood or get the tail right. Thanks Walt!

Not a big fan of roadsters but am a fan of craftsmanship. Nice work. Striping came out well.

This was built for a customer of mine but hope to have Bob aee it at the Old Timers dinner. Thanks for the nice complements.
