Tether Cars: Indy Racer
|
|
|
Here's our first old-school, scratch-built tether car collectible...
Straight out of the era of the great Dooling and McCoy "big guys" and mite cars, this tiny seven-inch Indy car is true to its genre. The 1:32 scale body is hand-hammered from aluminum, and even the little custom .049 is shaved to fit inside. The old-time external frame is hand formed from solid brass stock. The wheels are turned aluminum, fitted with half-century old NOS rubber. The paint is classic, and the decals are our own originals... right out of the depression era! Yes, we can fix you up with beautiful vintage oil, gasoline and auto performance decals for your personal models too! Inspired by the thought of just what might have been, if modern Half-A glow engines had existed in those halcyon days, we took the initiative and made just what we thought LeRoy Cox, the master Half-A guru himself might have built... back then, long before his beloved "Champion" stirred adolescent fantasies of speed and excitement. Take a trip with us... back to the time when fun-loving boys wore propeller-beanies instead of "doo-rags"... When the pungent smell of nitro was from the screaming "spin-dizzies" and "ukies" circling the schoolyard, not from the gun smoke from a homeboy drive-by shooting... Back to the prosperous, innocent, traditional American days when God, rather than "safe sex" was promoted in our schools and teachers spoke English, not "Ebonics"... Yes, we DO remember! (We hope you do too!) If you don't, send me an e-mail and I'll tell you what it was like to walk through the parks in downtown Chicago at night with no fear of being killed... and to fly our U-Control models on the runways of O'Hare Field, between the few "full-scale" take offs and landings. We'll keep on building collectible memories from much better days gone by, and they just get sweeter with each new tether car we build! |
