Outstanding work Bob... I'm glad you saved the old glue bomb...all the additional parts are a perfect choice for this project... Spot-on super clean sanitary work my friend... Thanks ! I honestly didn't think I'd ever build it , but I'm glad I finally got started on it . Now if I can get Murphy to leave me alone . . .  |

Now I see what you were doing with those small-diameter wheels and tires, too! Good call, on those wheelie bar items! Here's a better look at those little tires , they came from a Hot Wheels I found . This is paint job #2 . The first one was a disaster so I tossed the whole thing in the pond and prayed it didn't all come un-glued ! Now it's on to making some headers for this little beast !   |

I had planned on making headers that went under the frame rails but as soon as I started bending some pieces it was obvious that there just wasn't enough room to do that , so straight pipes it is . . . much easier to make too !  (the wheelie bars are removable)  Once they're trimmed to length I'll add some zoomies to them . |

Further awesomeness, all around!
Am I dreaming it, or did you make the front wheels positionable? Looks like you did!?

Being a toon car I thought you were using mini headers. Wellllllll the jokes on me. They do look better longer.

This Kool frame & engine reminds me of fuel altereds. Love the looks of it.

More header photos . The last week I've managed to spend a couple of evenings redoing them . Many hours spent bending and rebending until they were close to what I was looking for . Now maybe I can add some cool ends to them and get them painted !   |

That's just sweet looking, all to heck! I just keep staring at those pics, and smiling. Perfect proportions, all around!

I like the blend of realistic lookin' parts and toon parts just like you did with the tires and wheels on your #54 McLaren. In the beginning of this build you seemed unsure about the realistic look of the engine but, it is a perfect combination with the tires. I'm like Wardster every time I look at this thing I smile...
