Finally taking the plunge into larger scale after years of building 1/25 scale models. I’ve been collecting kits and parts for a build on an early ‘60’s dirt car raced primarily at Athens Speedway in Georgia. Car was built by Mack Burkhalter and sponsored by Frank Hamby’s Used Cars. The car was painted Corvette Honduras Maroon.

I’m used the frame and SBC engine from the ’34 Ford coupe, the quick-change rear end and front axle from the Minicraft Model-A Hot Rod sedan . Rear tires and right front are from AMT Cobra kit. Wide-five wheels are from Fred’s Resin Works. The ’31 5 window coupe was purchased for RMR (Resin Model Ranch) several years ago.

Late to the show...sorry!!! You did a GREAT job on this replica skeeter. It really looks like the 1/1. Where did you get the body from?

The 31 5 window coupe was purchased for RMR (Resin Model Ranch) several years ago. I emailed them recently to see if it was still available. Ron Andrews at RMR responded yes.

Here is his email address.

Thank you for the response, Skeeter.. I know Ron fairly well. I also bought a few 1/16 scale bodies from him. Not to steel your thread but this is what I did with the 1/16 5w that I got from him about 5 yrs or so ago.....
