Norman Veber displayed the new reassembled car for the
first time at the September MAMA meeting. We were delighted
to once again set eyes upon the model's smoothed and taper-sectioned
body and it's widened fenders.We could once again marvel
at it's operational front and rear suspension. The builder,
Dave Turner, was a machinist who viewed the model as a
way to apply his technical skills to his hobby. The rear
axle is a modified Big Deuce quick-change that now accepts
bolt-on rear cover and axle tubes. Dave machined the dropped
I-beam front axle from a single aluminum billet. Tires
from a Monogram Golden-T kit are wrapped around Dave's
one-piece machined aluminum
wheels, which are mounted to scratchbuilt cross-drilled
aluminum brake rotors. Machined aluminum calipers and
hubs complete the disc brake assemblies.
The highly modified body (wedge section and widened fenders)
is coated with Zynolyte
Bright Red paint.
