roadster.

 

Pretty neat. Though, I'd spend the 5000 towards making a real roadster...

 

No doubt that the hours add up to the price but damn.......I can build a real one for that money.

 

Only two hours running time. I can understand that, how would you like to run that thing into a curb.

 

I don't think she'll fit, but it might be fun trying.

 

Nice rack...

 

I have a New Era catalog from several years back and they were selling for $12,000 then.Don't know how many they sold but their work is top shelf.Frank DeSimone(the owner of New Era)does incredible work!I have one of his 1/4 scale Corvettes with a 35cc weed whacker motor and it is a work of art.4130 frame,hand made aluminum suspension pieces,miniature Heim joints everywhere,3-piece spun aluminum wheels.I got it in a trade for an engraved Ruger and some other goodies.
Conley's engines are incredible pieces also.I heard one run about 10 years ago at an indoor car show(they threw the guy out for firing it up and filling the place with nitro fumes)and what a trip!Wish I could afford one.
BTW the original prototype of that 32 was featured on the cover of a model car magazine in 1986.

 

GOLD CHAINER toys

 

Damn- that's a BIG B!#*@!!!
