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....

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.

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...

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...
