March 84C Indy Car I had the basics for this model for almost 25 years. An article in FineScale Modeler (Sep/Oct 1985) showed how to turn the AMT Penske PC-6 into a March 84C. The car was driven by Tom Sneva (the 1983 Indy 500 winner) but did not finish due to a broken BCCV joint. I bought the vacuformed body from the author and the decals from Fred Cady and it sat in a box. The 2009 Ajax model show had a special auto theme award '100 years of the Indianapolis Speedway' and I thought it was my best motivation for finishing the model. There is not engine or chassis details.
