Two V12 Salt Flat Racer.
What to do with a ‘59 Caddy ambulance ? Build by the kit ? I’m not that vanilla. I try to customize Everything. So I acquired a couple of V-12’s. I don’t build airplanes, and the engines would have been huge, awkward, and overscale. Even on a Lightning they would look ridiculous because the closest that airplanes get to 1:25th scale is 1/32nd, a few scales smaller, or G scale. So they needed a home. Enter the Ecto 1A. I already had a frame from an Alison V12 that I was saving for a Hydrogen Peroxide Rocket car. What better cradle and body ? I had to modify the Alison wheelbase, as the kit body was a ‘65 Thunderbird. The Caddy is 2” longer. Now, what do you do with a 2 V12 ‘59 Caddy ambulance ? Make it a Salt Flat Racer. Now I could put my baby moons to good use. I just spray adhesive on the narrow tires, then roll them in Baby Powder. Viola ! Salt Flat racer. I’m making this build have a theme. I’m creating a Hearse and calling it “Undertaker”. The V12’s will each have 7” Pro Chargers and straight pipes. I will sell the kit interior/chassis, as it is too long and specialized to even use in a Suburban build. Perhaps a potential buyer will see an ambulance possibility with the interior chopped down, and a Limosine possibility for the Chassis.
