Oh yes... The SC 427 side-oiler - 0-60-0 MPH ['Fastest Production Car in the World'], and held that title for a goodly number of years. Thanks for ever sharing this one, brings back some outrageous and scary memories, being thrown around in the inside of one of those Beast. Nicely done and executed, and thanks for sharing - I can almost smell the burnt rubber and hi-octane fumes... Thanks!

Thanks for looking in all.
One last thing, I had to make a car blanket for the mechanic...

Stay safe .. build more.. Cheers

Months ahead of schedule even !

Is that Burt under the hood ?
How you make the Valvolina blanket ?

 

[Belugawrx]

The old white glue and toilet paper trick
wrapped the painted car in saran wrap first

..put a couple stretched sprue in between for an anti roll off channel ..like the good blankets have... And then soaked the tp with diluted 50/50 white glue and water.
Let it dry overnight, primed with Duplicolor sealer/primer, heavily, then painted with red craft paint, and I found a decal in my spares drawer...

That paint looks to be spot on! Well done so far!
