And, yes, I know it's been way too long since I posted anything here. Anyway, here's The Awful Altered (or The Ragin' Roadster if you'd prefer). Starting with a Roarin' Rail, in no particular order: i) frame shortened to Altered spec, ii) Tony Nancy roadster body chopped up to fit, iii) parts pile blower intake used to allow for open butterflies, iv) engine detailed, v) parts pile grille used (which I forgot to polish out....), vi) roll bar tweaked to fit better, vii) front "wheels" scratchbuilt from clear perspex with engraved spokes, and viii) wide open eye decals added to the driver. That's all folks!   |

I'm a big fan of the TD Snap-Tites and this looks fantastic , love the mods and additions you've made !  I've made the clear front wheels before and never thought of engraving the spokes . . . DUH ! Thanks for the tip ! Soooooo maybe you have time to build another ?  |

Thanks for the tip ! Soooooo maybe you have time to build another ? I really struggled with an alternative to the clunky front wheels that come with the kit (I even tried to source a set of the distorted spoke wheels from the Robbin Hood Fink kit, but no joy) until engraving the spokes just popped into my head! There will be more nonsense coming, but a drag car? not so sure about that. |

A hearty Well Done Harley!
Nice build man! Love it!
Might just steal parts of it for my RaceToons Contest entry. Had some ideas, and an untouched Endsville Eddie, but just couldn't go any further. Thanks for the inspirations 😎

Thanks for the inspirations 😎 Steal away! I'm pretty sure I pinched the front wheel idea from something I saw years ago anyway! |
