This is my usual Hong Kong toy conversion...So, I started with a Marx toy Cooper...

I added the bump and Weber cover,

the nose was too open so I made a vac-formed nose...

I assembled my parts...

and started puttin' it together...

Not my best work, but ok...Bruce McLaren's Cooper T62 Climax, Langford winner 1962

From a TOY to a REPLICA. It's a pleasure to watch you do your MAGIC with these type of builds.

Your level of work is simply outstanding. I wouldn't even have given the Toy a 2nd thought, and you managed to turn it into a true Classic. Joel
