50s - I LOVE what you've done to this car! I remember growing up with these things in Germany. RATTLETRAP!!! Noisy and slow, but quirky in a cute way.
Yours along with the Saab looks great!!!

Phenominal job on the repaint. From just plain ugly to strikingly hideous.
I like the work you did on the rear wheelwells. Really gives it that serious racer look. The best looking CV ever?

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement! Forgive me for not thanking you earlier, but I've been off line with computer problems. 50s

Very nice work on that wee car
Glad you were able to get it to be a fun drive as well - that ain't an easy thing to do.

Thanks Bruce. "Fun drive" is the operative phrase. This car will never be a great runner. Replacing the windows with a much lighter, clear lexan made
a huge difference, taking off a bunch of weight up high and helping prevent it from tipping over in the corners. After doing that, lowering the body a bit on
the chassis, and all of the usual stuff like truing and gluing, it stays in the slot pretty good. BTW: This is the only car I've ever bought that actually
came with a big metal weight in the chassis in addition to the magnet . 50s
