Hello members,

I need some help. I'm looking for somebody who own the 1949 Mercury Woody made by Goldvarg and who could give me the 3 measurements shown on the attached photo.

1 43 goldvarg   side

My project is to reproduce this official car seen during the 1950 Indy 500

1950 indy 500 mercury  woody (2)

Yesterday, I won an auction on Ebay for a 1932 De Soto roadster made by Jerry Rettig.

I will try to modify this model so as to reproduce one of the two official cars provided in 1933 by De Soto.

Mine will be the one with the rear spare wheel like seen on the last attached picture.

Here's some news of my De Soto. I'm currently modifying the side grilles because they were not accurate.
