I had ordered a 64 Foyt Watson conversion from Lance a while back. At least that is what I thought I ordered. No mind. In any case I have a 63 Parnelli conversion. I already have that kit done in my collection (although it is 25 years old). So I cut off the side covers and added the intake slot on the nose. Wala! a 64 nose. (Or at least close enough) I have scrapped all the parts and sanded, removed the chrome and repainted all of the engine, suspension and chassis parts. I am waiting on an order for the body paint. Anyway, this old AMT kit basicly puts the body on last, so I have started assy. Here is the mostly completed engine. I used a combination of Metalizer, acrylics, and Rustolium Chrome.  |

Thanks for sharing this. I know this kit has some shortcomings but I have about a dozen of them with the eventual goal of building all of the Watson roadsters. You are off to a good start. The colors you chose sure show up the contrast.
Looking forward to more.

You should have called Lance if there was a mix up on the order. It's not to late to get the right parts IMO

If Lance can't help you, I have an extra Foyt Watson conversion kit.

Engine is complete and installed, as is the rear suspension. My paint has shipped, so I should have that soon. Pictured is the chassis and the modified body that is ready for paint.   |

You've got this kit looking great. Can't wait to see it with the paint on.

The nose modifications look great (as does the rest of your work on this). I know it has its faults, but I love this kit. It was probably the first mass produced, decent kit of an Indy roadster.
