Kyle DeHartAnother project I've been working on. Old Resin kit from Bill Jorgensen. Christmas present for my dad. Should be done in time. Nearing the end now.

Kyle DeHartOh, wire wheels provided by Fernando Pinto of Portugal. Pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. They always add to the level of the build.

Kyle DeHartThank you! The wire wheels are glorious. This one will be finished very soon now.

Kyle DeHartAnd it is across the finish line! Thank you all for your interest. The Novi V8 races at Indianapolis from 1946 to 1965 in one form or another making an unbelievable amount of power before it exited the stage. This 1948 version probably developed around 450 HP from its screaming Supercharged V8. The sound of the supercharger made this a fan favorite and my dad was no exception he fell in love with the Novi and Duke Nalon was his favorite driver. This car reached its peak in 1948 with a 3rd place finish, which is the car I have emulated here.

Bill NewcomerVery nicely done. I must say the men that drove the 1:1s were quite brave to run at speed on such skinny tires and no safety equipment.

Kyle DeHartThank you all. And Bill, you're quite correct. Brave souls indeed.
