I did this one after doing the lettering on the real car back in january ( I'm a sign artist). It is owned by Wallace Stacey from Kanawake, Canada. he races in the est/northern championship, mostly in Granby and Drummondville, Quebec Canada.

I based this model on the Model King reissue of the '35 Chevy Modified. I use the mechanicals and built a frame from scratch. The body was also scratchbuilt from styrene sheets. All tires are resin casted from a mold I made. Rear are larger than the front. The decals were printed on my office printer and designed in Corel draw using the lettering file I use for the 1'
1:1 car.

I'm very proud of this one and won the best race car at 2 model contest. Here it is

Thank you for the comment. I'm building another one, this time with the rear axle support that slide in and out. I'll get some pics later. I have 2 to do in the future.

As for the tires, I have a mold but only for one half of a tire so it is a bit of trouble to make them and start selling it, I have to make 2 halves and sand them and glue them together. sorry but I'll keep that in my mind.
