Again, if I could have afforded two I would have a 1921 winner, too.  |

Hey Chris. Nice build of one of my favorite cars and kits.
With regard to the '21 winner, neither this kit nor the old Aurora kit would build it without modification, I believe. The '21 car featured a straight eight, composed of basically two of the '20 Frontennac fours bolted together. There is a lot of room under the hood of the '20 car, but not enough for a full eight, so the cowl and frame need to be stretched. I noticed this recently when reading about another modeler's build up converting the Aurora '20 winner to the '21 car.
It would really be nice if this kit could be reissued as that would give me a chance to fabricate the straight eight without having to tear down my own '20 Monroe. Otherwise, if I get through the fifty other builds I have in the hopper, I just might have to go there.
