In a recent build, Pablo was very gracious and not only re-gifted me a motor from long ago, but custom built a whole car to go around it. It's the awesome LaCucaracha you see in the background, complete with scratch built multi-brass rod IFC chassis and custom painted vacuum formed Cuc body.
As I pondered what he was doing for me, I was also pondering how I could thank him. In going through all my junk...er, um, I mean, stuff, I came across the splendid rewound Classic CM450 FT-26D motor you see in the photo. Then I remembered Pablo had given me that motor a number of years ago. I had intended to scratch build a chassis and put it under a late 1960's Nascar body, also in the photo. As you can see, I never got started on it.
I loved watching the progress as "the master" crafted my Cuc. So, I thought I would love to see a Pablo-built Mercury Cyclone being constructed right before our very eyes, computer screens and cell phones. I want to see how he designs and builds the car with the parts I have furnished him. I also want to see what kind of paint job he puts on the body. The only constraints he has is to build a car from the furnished parts.
Pablo, have at it! We'll all be watching.
Upon completion, you have 3 choices:
1. Keep the car for yourself.
2. Sell the car for fun and profit.
3. Auction it off for charity or Slotblog.
The parts are boxed up and will be in the mail to you Monday. I hope you enjoy building this one. I will be anxious to see how it all plays out. Have fun and thanks again for the Cuc
