I think this a great choice for Gary to kit because it is the last upright “sprint” layout car to win has a neat color scheme and has an interesting front end layout. I’ll start there. I extended the line of the hood by 10 mm from the hood-nose joint. This locates the torsion bar/shock mount. On the other side I had to lower the extended line because the hood joint is about 3mm higher. The top of the mount should be flat so I can reposition the friction shock upwards to get out of the way of the torsion arm. The torsion bars run along the body back to small brackets. I made a bent wire clutch pedal Also a gas pedal

Don't forget the 1952 Troy Ruttman in the Agajanian Spl. #98 Both cars were a last of a dying breed at the Speedway, but lasted for many more years on the Championship trail

Well, I just realized I didn’t keep taking pix of the build so I’m going straight to the finish line. I like the stance of this one.

It looks great, I was looking forward to following the process since I have this kit. I did learn some things though. Thanks for sharing. John

Man Dan.... The pictures are loading super slow.... They might be too big. Now...I can see them...took awhile. That is a very cool Indycar. I'm with you...The stance is way cool. Plus the color combo really looks great on that body style. Great job.

Very nice! I'm also a fan of colors on this car. Are those the kit decals?
