Indy Car
Hi All,
I told my grandson I would build him an Racing Car. He is into Formula One - Ferrari Fan.
Got Plans for an Indy Car
Never worked off plans before. I am impressed with them.
Made a few modifications along the way.
Thought you might be interested in my "Work In Progress"

Very nice work. Depending on how you finish it out you might add some water slide decales to really kick it up possibly with your grandson's name and in the colors of his favorite team.

Finished the Indy Car for my 11 year old grandson. His name is Josh - hence the name on the car.
It's OK but a bit disappointed with it. Think I would much rather build locomotives from scratch and work off photos rather than plans. Anyway that's me.
Here are some photos

Cheers Peter
