Considering my little experience building chassis I opted to emulated Art’s Indy Roadster chassis to the best of my capabilities with a few modifications

It runs nice on my plastic track, I need to wait and see how does it goes on a wooden track.

I would like to do some more detailing on the driver and some final touches on the body screws details.

The driver was Eddie Sachs

Wow! That looks great Luis! Nice job! I love the Firestone tire decals they really make it!

[Arthur]

Hopefully Eddie can make it for the inaugural Indy Roadster 500 next month!!! Yahoooooo!!!

Q. What decals did you use?

Thank You Guys, it was really interesting to work on this front motor chassis.

The tire decals I got at Indycals the body decals I ordered from Ostorero

Very nice work Luis.  Love the tire decals and chassis.

Great cockpit detail!

[racer68]

Very impressive Luis!

I love the way the tire decals pop. They make the whole thing scream Indy 500. How did you apply them to look so perfect, as if they were pad printed?

That cockpit is beautiful. Did you paint the gauges?

Cheers

Thank You Guys,

For the tire decals I applied a bit of Tamiya Mark Fit, then apply the decal and add another touch of Mark Fit once it was dry, in order to eliminate the shine on the decal, I applied Tamiya clear flat over the full diameter of the tire.

The gauges I first painted in mat black and then I used dry brush with silver to pick up the elevate parts and used a tooth pick with red for the arrows.
