Here is a midget I'm working on. So far the chassis is scratch built, the wheels/ tires are Monogram and the tail tank is balsa. Added the body panels from
styrene sheet. Now I need an engine and header and some paint and decals.

That looks awesome! I would love to have a few of them, are you planning on selling them?

No, sorry to say, I don't think I would sell them. I get too attached to my scratch builds. If you go to http://score.dirtslotcars.com/ you can see the
basic formula that I used. I just sized mine down to 1/32 scale instead of 1/25 scale. If you go to their site be prepared because these guys build some
awesome non wing midgets, sprints and silver crown cars. There is also a link to Hot Laps racing on their where one of the guys sells a lot of the things you
need to build these and also sells complete cars.

Ya know...its time some of our car makers wake up and make these. Too many times I hear how folks would really like them.
I know if they did, I would be in! "They Didn't Say You Couldn't" - Smokey Yunick

I don't know if anyone will ever mass produce these as I think they'd be pretty tough to cast with the roll cage and all.

They wouldn't need to cast the hole thing, roll bars and all... its needs a good balanced chassis and they can injection mold the body and roll cage and
heat weld assemble the parts just like they do with 98% of all other RTR cars. With Scaley making 1/32 interiors with the level of detail this one has these
there is no reason they couldn't make a decent looking Sprint:
