'32 Ford Coupe Speedway Rod

After seeing "Bobthemodeller's" lovely version of the old speedway hotrod, I
thought perhaps I should put mine on "the track" as well. I haven't dirtied mine
up yet but after seeing Bob's it does give it character with some "mud"
splashed over the car.

Another cool old dirt car racer, No need for mud on it yet it has not raced as yet as its a new one

now that is a neat ol' jalopy.

Nice. Looks great.

That is one very nicely done racer and the good news is it's fine without dirt, coz anybody who doesn't clean their car up before a race meet and between heats, is doing themselves and their advertisers/sponser a major disservice.  

I'll score it

Yeah nice

Cheers Carps... when you've built a dirt track racer/rod, it's a always a difficult
decision whether to chuck "mud" onto it, even though it does add to the character
but sometimes you can lose the "look" of the rod. I remember the thrill of being able
to wander through the pits (early 1960's - late 1970's) before the actual start of the
days racing and seeing the line up of cars in their different grades & classes, all cleaned
up & touched up ready for a days racing. Sometimes the drivers would hand out spare
STP or WYNNS or whatever stickers they had in their pockets to the kids.
Man those were great & exciting times.

Looks great!

Welcome to the forum "Delaney" and thanks mate, for your comment on my Hot Rod. I took the opportunity to look in on your builds... great work & would look awesome on a dirt track diorama. Look forward to seeing more of your work mate.

Very nice, I like it clean - calms my OCD urges!!

mine too mate!

Looks the goods !!!

Nice work Jerry, I like these old dirt trackers.

Wow, Jerry, this is so cool - one of my favourite modelling genres. Three of us at Perth and Districts Model Club build these early speedway rods and we will have them at Super Model Car Sunday this year, displayed on a dirt track diorama. It would look great mixing it with them!

Cheers

Very cool
