Attached are several photos of the model I built for my cousin, Buck Kelly, of the Don House XL-1. I know that Wally Dallenbach also drove this hot rod but I went Joe Kelly (no relation to Buck) as he was the driver of the XL-1 when I see it compete at Wall and Old Bridge. Like all my builds, it has its flaws. But I feel this model is a good representation of that era of Saturday night racing. Scott Ely

Great job Scott! Two questions...is that the chassis that came with the Ford coupe kit and are they Polecat decals? |

Steve- I used the chassis that came with the model. The decals are from Polecat Decals. I feel the decals really do "make the model". My days of lettering 1/25th scale hot rods is long gone. Also, thank you all for your positive comments. Scott Ely |

Scott, I Love it!! Some years back, 2 fellows from our model club had a car show at the first aid building in Brick, NJ on Aurora Blvd. The gentleman who then owned the XL-1 replica, real car, just like your model, brought it out to that show. I haven't seen the car since and don't know if the car still resides in New Jersey. Another mystery to solve!! |

here is a drawing by Charlie Lindmar almost the same as the photo. The GSVSCC has the replica of this racer..It would be neat is there was a show for all to get together. Jim Hall GSVSCC |
