Re: Another funny car project...
Made a new part to fix the body to the frame. You can choose three positions depending on the size of the wheels you use....

Re: Another funny car project...
Thank you. Yes, there are not so many and there is only one racetrack in England I heard of.
Hope to go there one day...
In the meanwile this car will be a shelf queen
In two weeks I will visit Rolf Luther, the manufacturer of the V8. If he allowes me to take some pictures of his workshop I will post them here.

Re: Another funny car project...
The tube for the front axle is welded too high on the pacesetter frame if you want to use small tires. Now I got an idea to make the position, the movement and the strength of the suspension adjustable. Can't wait to see the first prototype...

Re: Another funny car project...
At the Weekend I removed the original Pacesetter tube and mount the front suspension prototype. Seems to work fine. I like the fact that it is very flat. Now the Frame is ready for powder coating...
Have a nice week...
