Title: Len Boehler's iconic #3 "Ole Blue" coupe.
Post by: Rattlecan Dan on October 05, 2024, 08:24:58 PM
Finished up my version of "Ole Blue" Modified coupe. Len Boehler owner-builder and Fred DeSarro were quite a team. Len had Bugs Stevens and many more great drivers who all enjoyed victory in the mostly always beat up coupe.

The old #3 would never win the best looking car awards. Just the races.

Nice job catching the look of the real thing.

Great job on Ol Blue! All of the pictures of the car always looked like it just sat on the trailer, outside in the weather.

 :) This is a fantastic model.  Lenny's cars were usually ragged, but you did not overdo it on the model.

Excellent build, weathering is just right. Pour in some go juice and lets go racing.
