Beautiful work...makes me think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when you see the car before Bert takes it home and it's all burned up and then later when it rolls out of the shed all restored.

Superb. Like a Phoenix rising from the flames. About the 2 pedals. This racer was made before the standard control layout of 3 pedals, and a gearshift between the front seats. I think the Austin 7 was the first mass produced car with standard controls. Some of the early cars had levers on the steering wheel for throttle, and ignition advance. Some also had a lever for manually pumping in the engine oil. So many functions have now been automated. Alot of people around today who have never even seen a manual cold start choke.

True. Pump on left side is manual oil pump. Brake was a lever on right side. Most midget race cars if the 40's and 50's retained this layout. No brake pedal as there is no room and besides who needs brakes in a race car lol.

Heck, race cars back then had a crew of two, because there was so much manual engine management that the driver just couldn't be bothered with it.

Hi, i have never seen a better restoration of these old race cars of yesteryear then you do !👍. Especially when you are printing new tires for your models. Your models look like they come brand new out of the box ! I'm very impressed ! Keep up the fine art work and have a good time ! Greetings and best wishes!
