Default My race car build

I had a request for pics showing the build process of my race can and pics of it.

I forgot I already posted this and it is still up and out there.

Be sure to run the slide show "in reverse" or you will see the deconstruction of my race car instead of its construction! LOL!

Here is the link:

Here are a few random shots of the car...

James, do you have any more pictures of the custom aluminum dash? I really like how that works in your arrow blue race car.

James - love that car....in fact I love all your cars! From the front view, with the headlights deleted, you can see some lines from the 944 turbo. I also enjoy watching your DVD, and seeing these beauts in action!

Thanks everyone! I am on my way over to the parents for dinner in a bit and when I get home I need to clean up EURO85 and the garage and then tomorrow is the *** GTG so, I'll try and get some pics and post some more photos of the car tomorrow night.

Stan, what is the page with my race car and all the other guys on it too??? I can't remember the URL...

German is the one to thank if you like this thread! He was the one who saw the pic of the car in my sig line and asked to see some info about it!

KC, glad you are enjoying it! Wish I had more to add, but the photobucket slide show, and the 928racing.net site have all the info available on the car...what it needs now (other than more HP) is me to put more hours on the Hobbs meter!

12" wide, 16" diameter on stock suspension bits. The back spacing is about 7". The wheels are the same front and rear so I can switch them back to front.

That's some innovative cage work.
Nice work!

The "base" of this car is ALL Mark Anderson! He built a beast here! I just put an engine/trans/suspension on the car and got it back on track!
