Those seats are scary-lookin' but I'd love to build one of those someday! That's the first one I've ever seen built as well.

Nice job, it looks great! I always wished those Pyro kits had been done in the standard 1/24 or 1/25, but they were always either too large, 1/16, or too small, 1/32.

That one could quite easily be done in 1/25 by combining parts from a Tamiya Lotus super 7, Rommels Rod and an old MPC "Cobra" Trike (I know that one's hard to find, but some scratchbuilding would of course do as well). Also, I guess a chassie from the recent re-issue of the old MPC 1925 Switcher T-hot would be a perfect fit. |

[glow=teal,4,300]GREAT job on a rarely seen kit! Back in the 60's, snakes and that sort were very popular(anything mean or scarry). You did it proper justice.[/glow]

I see the Model T parts, and I see the Lotus Super 7 nose, but I don't see and Rommel's Rod.
What parts from the RR are you speaking about for the 1/24 scale build?

Man, I have seen that kit on ebay a few times and never thought about it much, but it builds into a very cool ride, even box stock. Great paint job! BOOM
