I love this scratch-built old-school Indie race car for kids. It was built on an aircraft-style stringer frame with a riveted sheet aluminum skin. There are fun details on it, like a sliced-in-half 50s kitchen canister for the front bumpers, a malt shaker for the headrest, and a maraschino cherry jar for the radiator cap (seen in finished pic above).

one for each of my kids please!
That is a pretty neat looking car! While I was checking that out, I couldn’t help but think of the post we just did on the making of our limousines:
