Sweet looking "Old Cahoun"! Great choice of paints as well.

.125" X 25 = 3.125" on the full size car. 3.125 divided by 64 = .049" which is close to 3/64 or 1.25 mm.

Very much looking forward to this work in progress as I'm looking to build one.

Thanks for the tip about shortening the front axle. I tried this and it works really well especially since you are taking the piece out of the middle leaving the attachment points outside the frame. Now if we could just figure out a simple fix for those stupid AMT tires.

Very true. With Tom & Ed, Michael, and Calvin producing tires, our tire problems are becoming a thing of the past. The best solution for the ANT tires is the trash can.

[Calvin]

Oh......I guess its done.







Kinda struggling with the pictures today.....

Out of winning cars from the 1960's, the two I like best are "Oldcalhoun" and "Besty," the 1963 and 1964. Cars that looked fastanding still1!

That turned out terrific! It looks like Parnelli is on his way to another win.

Great work!
