Thank you Kaye and Fab
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
Drove down to Philadelphia this morning and picked up these two beauties, phenomenal craftsmanship, beautiful lines and gel coat.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
very nice cannot wait to see how you paint them up.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
Thanks fab, my plan is to remove the black body and replace with the new body, then I will reproduce a copy of the pacesetter chassis out of steel which is much easier to work with for me than aluminum for the second body, which will have the 4 cylinder O.S engine up front and skellenger rear. The chassis will make a perfect blue print, everything is here to copy including the front axle and shock mount. I'm not a big fan of hood scoops and the high cowl area so I'm going to sell the black body.

Wow, now you're rocking! Great idea to make a second / replica.

Engine turned aluminum vinyl received today! Thanks, I'll use this on the dash of my Bonneville Salt Flat racer project.
Again, many thanks.

You're welcome, if you ever need some more for other projects let me know.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
Made all the nerve wracking cuts and I finally have the car I always wanted, the paint theme will most likely be that of the AJ Foyt sprint car days. Hope you enjoy the photos

Emilio: You've got a lot done there, I'd still be recovering from the drive to Philadelphia! Any drive more than 100km (63 miles) these days has me feeling like i need a nap
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
I'm thinking of doing this car in the honor of one of my favorite racer Jim Clark, I know he had a Lotus but who cares. My Yankee F1 was painted in a Ayrton Sena theme which he died in 1994 and my F1 is a 1997, it's all about honoring my favorite racers.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
The Jim Clark color scheme would absolutely suit your Pacesetter.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
Thanks Kaye, paint is ordered. I'm going with the Tamiya TS-9 brand paints.
Re: Pacesetter Outlaw sprint car tear down and restoration.
I agree that colour scheme will look great and nice job on trimming the body to fit.
