1973 David Hobbs Eagle

[sam198]

Or quite possibly, ambitious but rubbish (apologies to Richard Hammond). I find this car to be one of the most beautiful Indy cars ever, hopefully I've done it a little bit of justice. This started out as a total glue-bomb from my father (thank you) and, being an AMT kit, needed a fair bit of work (nose, wing, etc.). Decals are home-made (maybe a mistake), as was the rear wing.

[Hobbsisms] Well....."Scotto" as you know it takes some "rather large attachments" to work on a Glue bomb! "Kablammo!" or "done blowed up" There is usually a lot of "clag" to clean off of those glue bombs.

I really like this car....with that said "Good on ya mate" [/Hobbsisms]

i always thought that was one of the nicer paint schemes from the '70's.
thanks for sharing.

Black cars have always been striking and yours is no exception. Nice Job!!! I wonder if anyone watching the F1 broadcasts realize his history and racing credentials. There is sure some nice satisfaction saving a glue bomb. Good on you.

...and doing your own decals. I always appreciate that extra effort - it isn't easy!
