Thanks for the comments...much appreciated!
Think that one would be a little front heavy? Hehe! ......
Ya think? I had the opportunity to pay homage to the last handful of big blocks that where still around here locally in 1984 with this build. There where a couple of big block Chevelles, and a big block '69 Charger still bangin' around....by the mid 80's, rules pretty much had killed off the last of the dinosaurs ....either thru 8 1/2 pounds per cubic inch or smaller carbs.
We will have to do some sort of gig like this again.
I'd like to see another Octoberfest next year....In keeping with the German influence, I'd like to build something Ford style. I have the Tamiya Ford Sierra XR-4i that I'd like to make into the short lived Mercury Merkur XR4Ti that was built at Fords Cologne Body & Assembly and sold here in the states from 1985 - 1989
Wow, Brian, youre a true builder and your be there done that skills really have shown on this build!!! Youre a real Weekend Warrior for sure!!! Glad to be in the company of all you guys!!! We would make a heck of a team if we could all get together and build a real race car, Michael included, wouldnt we!!!
Thank you for your kind comments....
The building talent here is some of the best around....I don't think you will find any thing like this on social media, to make it seamlessly work like it does with in this forum would be virtually impossible any where else.
The team concept producing a 1:1 scale stock car would certainly be a force to be reckoned with at any level....it would
not be a stretch to parlay what we have already done and will continue to do and improve upon into a real deal stock car....I think the only questions would be who would drive the thing??!!??
