It's an amazing model with working crankshaft and pistons. I had to make a period driver for this model. I did it before I saw decent pictures of Barney Oldfield. I would have made the driver a lot uglier and put a cigar in his mouth.

I actually still have some sequential pictures of how I made the driver. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Great model that my brother had a headache to finally get one that didn't have broken parts. He never bought from Exoto again.

@100ford2003 With all the scale working parts, this was a very ambitious model and I'm not surprised there was breakage. I guess I was lucky because to make the driver figure I had to do some disassembly.

And your driver figure enhances that model 101%.

I agree, the driver makes the car much more interesting.
