Hey Adrian, really nice work! I'd like to get one of these someday myself. My dad was TRD's track support Engineer for this car, and Alex Barron used to race karts in Southern California at the same time I did. He was a couple of years younger, so we never raced each other, but it was fun to see a local kid make it to the big leagues and then running a car that my dad was working on, especially. I'll be watching you to the end on this one.

I will do my best on this guy but the Resin cast was lacking alot of rear end detail to put it lightly. I have studied many close ups of the rear end but I may not be able to recreate the exhaust system correctly - however I will do my best!

Things are getting exciting as this guy is coming together nicely, and I've tried to take the detail to another level this being my first Indy Build.
Clear coating has begun on the body but there will be a lot of dry time because I have to assembly and create the cockpit after the body has fully dried - gunna be difficult to say the least - but I saw no other way.
Thanks for stopping by

Ok, Adrian, you convinced me. I have about 65 kits in different stages of completion for sale, plus a room with a desk full of tools, paint booth and paints included. Does anybody know a good supplier of knitting needles? I may be able to keep up with that... Excellent work, sir!
