A little more work on the drivers enclosure today plus progress on building the engine.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Engine.
Yes, it's got a Hemi.
Partially plumbed and not yet wired.

IRL a race car would have been required to have high pressure rubber or braided steel fuel lines but this is a Team Stoopid car and red plastic is good enough for them.  :mellow:

Oh YES Fred!  :thumbsup:

That's awesome, TWIN 6-71s as well!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

That's the optional engine set up from the AMT '53 Studebaker Starliner kit.  "Double Whammy" as the decals put it.

Very neat  :thumbsup:

I particularly like the fact that it still has it's little "for hire" light bulge  ;)

How much do you bet that Fred'll fit the taximeter too?  ;D

The race driver would have to flip it on just before the Christmas Tree counts down.   ;)

I hadn't thought of that Kit.  Good idea.
I'll have to see if Revell include one...

If it was the older version you could carry the luggage alongside the driver. A spare can of nitro for instance.....  ;D

Now i've finished the FW-190 I can concentrate my effort on the Stoopid Taxi.
Today I detail painted parts of the chassis, attached pedals, assembled & attached PE six point harness and attached the drivers seat/firewall module to the chassis.
This has enabled me to sit the body on the chassis, set its attitude and think about how to make the hinge.

Normally it's the black cab driver who has the attitude not the cab  :rolleyes:
