looks like an interesting project, bravo!

i'm not sure of the make myself, perhaps an early Ford racer? just a guess

Not a Ford. Was driven by a famous WWI flying ace.

I would say one of Eddie Rickenbacker's drives then, but the tail end shape is wrong for his most famous drive unless you're still working on the tail in which case I would go with a Blitzen Benz.

It's a Rickenbacker drive but not the Blitzen Benz.

That would leave it as either a Mason or a Columbus if I have the era correct (pre-1914).

Either way, a unique and interesting subject.

Mason is right as I have not added the identifying feature, an outside exhaust, of what the model will be - a 1914 Duesenberg, as driven by Eddie Rickenbacker.

Red, white and blue livery with an American flag on the cowl.

..already like the livery.... ;)

Yeh! me, too.

Update - looks like a Duesenberg now that the exhaust is on. I plan on being finished for this coming weekend's Simpsonville, S.C, show.

With any luck I will get to see it at the show then (provided I get home in time)

The 1914 Duesenberg, Eddie Rickenbacker car, is finished and ready for the Simpsonville 500 this weekend.

Great one, Pico!

I attended the Simpsonville show this past weekend. There were a bit over 400 car models there, and of uniformly high quality. The 5 ACME members brought about 35 models. The Duesenberg took 2nd in open wheel competition.
