Exhaust Deflector?
I have been looking at this picture thinking of making a model of this racer and wondering about this one part. Is it a deflector or shield for the exhaust, especially because of the right hand drive? I don't remember seeing it anywhere else

Re: Exhaust Deflector?
I believe you are correct and it also protects the Stewart speedometer.
You can see the cable running from behind the shield to the right front wheel where the road gear is mounted.
The exhaust pipes appear to be the tapered like the early tail pipe.
Great photograph of an early Ford Model T racer.

Joel, are we going to get to see the model when it's finished? It sounds like a great project. We have had some posts on hand-built models before and it might be nice to see some more.

Re: Exhaust Deflector?
Sure if there is an interest I didn’t want to overstep
I am doing research and having parts 3D printed and then cast in resin. My first project was a set of Disteel wheels in 1:24 and 1:25 and now am working on a Frontenac OHV engine.
