Always wanted a Cox Gurney but can never win one on eBay or fabricate the needed parts in 1/25. So I figured maybe I can locate one of the Revell/Monogram bodies in 1/32 and do a smaller one.
Still haven't found a donor body but I got the wheelbase and started my build with these parts.

Front bracket I'll carve outta the remaining one... leaving the swing arm tabs.

I think it looks the part so far.

Bruce, this appears to be a very interesting project. I'll be following your build article through it's completion. Thanks for sharing it.
Were your turned pictures taken with an Apple device?

A little progress... argh! I tried keeping the picture upright... not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Ed. note: Fixed your pic and the "why" is that you're holding the iPad in the wrong orientation. See the PM I sent you please.]

Hi Bruce,
I copied your photo, rotated it and replaced the photo in your post so I could see your chassis 
Your chassis, as the British would say, "looks the business". Nice work!

Thank you, Rick... I'm gonna slot the body tomorrow, to try to get a stance that looks a bit more NASCAR than the old Cox car...
Those wheels looked hidden up in there to me. I'll cheat it a little.

That really does indeed, as Rick says, "look the business".
Reminds me at some point will look at doing a Gurney in 1/24 and now got inspiration for 1/32 one, too... thanks!

The thumbnail before I attach it here is oriented correctly... I just don't get it.

Bruce,
Are you using a cellphone to take these pics?
If so, what brand and model please?
As you can see, I fixed the pic orientation.
