You guys have seen these all before, but these are better pics. The first three are modified bodies and frames from the Tony Nancy 22jr kit. before the Winged Express was re released. The last 2 are basic Winged Express kits. The purple one was done Show Car style, hence all the chrome, and it was painted with decanted Pactra paint from the 1960s. All have sandblasted tires. These WIPs show how much the Tony Nancy bodies were modified Thanks Jim

These are really nice man! I especially like the 6 cylinder one. Is that a 'stovebolt'? Also, are the tyres resin? Great jobs all-round mate!

Thank-You my friend for your comments. It's a lot of work to post these and it's nice when it's appreciated. The 6cyl always seems to be the one people like most, LOL You are correct, it's the 6cyl from the 37 Chevy kit. I scratch built the intake and exhaust, I love the Offy valve cover the kit comes with The tires are all vinyl, that I have sandblasted. I have sandblasted all my vinyl model tires since 1974. And yes, that has been hundreds of tyres. LOL Thanks Jim

Thank-You Todd
Always a pleasure hearing from you.
I didn't put these in the repost section, cause I didn't think I posted them before.

Brilliant shots of the motor. Lovely work man! I have a slant six that I have similar hopes for. I appreciate the detail on the carbs' especially. Certainly makes a difference. Those resin tyres look the part too.

Those resin tyres look the part too. Thanks Mate, Yes, I've got a slant six from the Deora kit I'm doing a little more modern style. A company called "6=8" made a "flow thru head" that put the carbs on one side and exhaust on the other, that's what I'm doing to my next one. Jim
