Come on Repliconics, tell me it runs !!!!
Whether it does or not, it'd certainly turn heads if you took it out for a drive.
What an awesome looking beast and a scratch build WOW....Thank you....
Cheers, crowie

Thanks Crowie, She don't run unless you push her down a hill.
It was built as a Billycart, the steering works.
But I dont think I'll take the chance.
To much work!

WOW fantastic model.

Have you ever thought about getting an old invalid cart and using the parts to make it battery operated.

Hay Bret, the attached pic has some spec's on the Outlaw for you.
Cheers!

This thing is INSANE! Making it run with electric motors or something would be icing on the cake.

Any chance you have progress pics from during the build? Would love to see a retrospective build thread to find out how everything was done. How long did it take to complete? Very, very impressive work.

Thanks Mate,
Glad you like it. The Outlaw took about a year to build, most of that was on the engine.
Building four strommies out of wood, is some thing I never wont to do again.
I'm sorry I dont have pics of it being built, I didn't give it much thorought at the time.
Just got caught up in the building.
A lot of people say I should put electric motors in my work.
But honestly if I did that, I may as well build the car. If you know what I mean.
Anyway thanks again, really glad you like it.

That is totaly awesome, enter it in some rod comps and see what happens!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC workmanship

Thanks Kryn, I've entered the Outlaw in two comps.
One was the Scratchbuilt Model section of the Australian Modeling Open.
The entery form bid say any scale!
I was lucky enough to win that.
But the other which is my fav, was in a large Victorian country town (which shall remain nameless)
It was there local Show so I entered the Outlaw, and won first price in the "METALWORK" section.
Pretty happy with that!!!!!
Still got the certificate and ribbon, it's a "Hoot".
Cheers.

When I said about "entering it in a Rod Comp" I meant a Hot Rod Show with full sized Hot Rods. Just to see what the public think of it as compared to full size. If any one asks tell em it was built for a midget as a prototype.
