Edelbrock Equipt Midget

Post by Dirt Devil »

This is the revell Kurtis Kraft midget with the Edelbrock flathead V8-60 . As I said in my 29 ford thread I was doing something new I hadn't tried before. Well here it is I thought I would try puting some sparkplug wires on. I got a heap of old phone line and stripped the white outer case off and found 5 smaller wires in mixed colors. they maybe a bit out of scale I dont think it looks that bad, to be honest for a first attempt I don't think I did to bad at all.

The glue I used for the window hadn't dried yet

All thats left now is to finish the trailer and build something to haul it to the track.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I hope that these last two builds get me headed in the right direction and I can get a few more builds done.

Looks great to me, the added detail work really pays off in the end. Hope mine comes out half as well

Great looking build. Using the V8 60 kit is cool. Much more common engine here in AUS.
