Original car was in bits and bought second hand.

Previous owned had hacked it up and put a big V-8 engine inside.

Had to create a new front chassis and mount the interior and front wheel from scratch

Post by: Brian da Basher on October 13, 2018, 06:11:28 PM: Those are some real beauties there!

I just love the look of those classic cars and they seem to gain extra speed from those cool racing colors.

Very well done!

The decals are a combination - the racing number is commercial, the Grace Bros, TAA and Ampol printed on decal sheet via a inkjet printer.

Next up - John Leffler's Mini's, Bruce Taylor's Jag sports sedan and Brian Foley's Alfa GTAm

Also working on - but will be a little down the track - Bruce Carey's V8 Capri

Not nearly enough room for the beer.

Post by: Brian da Basher on January 16, 2019, 05:51:14 PM: I like this one a lot and not just because I smoked Chesterfields (albeit non-filters) for years.

Yet more outstanding paint work. Few get 'em as sharp and clean as you do.

Great stuff!
