Racers Wedge with a twist

[SCRWDRVR]

I bought the 72 Chevy racers wedge with the plan of it being a stock 72 like my dad had in my youth so I had to used the car hauler for something. I had a 55 Cameo and a 55 step side that I started a looong time ago and lost interest in both so there is my donors. Used both frames so I could stretch the length of the frame and here is my progress so far...

This could be the start of something interesting. Any progress?

I did get a little done since then, time is limited right now but it’s making progress, I got the pieces in to make the wheel wells small since I’m going single axle but have to finish the body work and I test fit it in the case and it’s close but it fits

Are you going to make it with single tandem  drive?

I wanted to put a four tire single axle under it but decided to go with the single tire and axle and I’m going to make a 2 piece drive shaft for it. It’s probably a little light weight for what you would want in real life but I think it will work for viewing.

Smart to check display case fit now! Unlike a guy who builds a diorama in his basement too big to get up the stairs and through the door!

Thanks for the update. I have a ramp rod cooking in the back of my mind based on a model  A Ford hauling a belly tank racer. So many ideas and so little time.

one singe tire would not carry the weight. You need at least the tire side by side in and axle like a daulie pickup. What ever you decide is fine in a model world…

The daulie is what I wanted to use but didn’t have one so I went with the single, like you said in the model world all is fine…
