Look up info on Ascot or Big Boy Toys sprint cars as that seems the closest to me.

Ok, so it's not a flattened AE Nose Plate.
Alloy or Graphite?

I raced a BBT a few times bitd. Racing RC sprint cars was tremendous fun but eventually I sold that car and very much regret it. The aluminum parts were polished with a red body and wing and chrome wheels. My dad loved that car and I should have given it to him. :(

Anyway, I got an Ascot kit in a trade for something (maybe it was a pan car - not sure). Those aluminum headers are really nice.

You have a nice find there, Derek. Will you finish and add them to the collection?
