Old Special: Bloody Mary

Just finishing the rough out of an old special; bloody mary by the bolster brothers. I'm not really trying to make this a perfect recreation, just want to get the feeling of this car and have fun with it.

Thanks guys.

Here is a small update. I did make a hood, but I think I really prefer it without it. Some dash elements, small suspension bits, etc.

Nice work man!

Oh and on a side note you avatar is really cool! Did you make it yourself?

Very interesting car. I can't figure out what the engine set-up is... is that accurate? But, modeling is good, just check your tyres, they're going underground

DaveCox - Thanks, I just did a quick photoshop for the avatar, took a pic with saran wrap to distort my face, then a quick paint over to put me in the bottle. Just a fun little test. Here is a larger version.

Giom - Its a crazy little car, running two J.A.P. motorcycle engines, that are inline and chain driven. I should have posted some more info on the car itself. Check this out: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=6645

Yup, I know about the tires intersecting, once I rebuild the tread (currently just quick placeholder) I'll weld all the pieces together and deform the tire so it has the correct bulge.
