"Oh lord won t you buy me a Mercedes benz" Lookin good so far Jonathan. Have to post some own pics of my update to the Dtm Amazon.

Jonathan I don t think we need to do that. Since my build will be a 1966 Karmann giha whit a Carrera gt V10 engine and that has got the green light from Nick. I wish my Karmann would come next week so i can get started stuffing the engine in.

David thats a nice one. May be you could transport one or two spear tires for me in it

If you can wait till to morrow i will come up whit some mock up shots.

Thank you [qoute]The TOOTHLESS ZOMBIE HUNTERS' BRIGADE awaits you! Let them wait

Okey thanks doc then i m gonna dive into my parts box and make a postapocalypse Mad max kinda road cruiser Vette. So let s see i m in the: Canonball CBP Gumball CBP Historic racing CBP Foreign vehicle CBP And now in this one to. Well att least you know what ur gonna build on

So let me see if i got this right. I can make a vehicle out of my part box as long i havent erlier used them for any other model? In that case i got a 06 z1 vette that i have pland for a post apocalypse build.

I m gonna need one or two for sure. There just isn t that much space in the AC. Started to change the Cobra into an AC, not that much work when you use a Ac cobra. But looked at pics and realize that the Ac Cobra have small wheel flares that the Ace don t have. Well Dremel is invented But whit out more words let the pics speak for em selves The front. Had to change it just a bit. The body. Whit flares removed

See ya there guys

I ll stay tuned

You oughta be proud of your self. Just might got the inspiration to go on and finish my own vintage type of FV. But yeah i dig your work man.

Nice builds you guys got there. Now its official since i w been surfing the net and going through spec of the AC Ace. I m in whit a near standard engined car and no fancy suspension, just gonna go Ace on that too. Every thing that don t need to be painted thou won t be. I gonna save weight every where it is possible and safe to do so. Even if it is on the cost of comfort, We r raceing here we r not on some pick nick.

Thats so true Dirk

Dirk have started that kit some 30 odd years ago. But whit the Robert Lappalainen livery. Newer got it together thou. Tried to do fancy detaling whit out the needed skill and got tired of the whole kit. Got the engine and three wheels and tires still in my parts box. Some day i gonna build that kit jet. :

1957

Thank you. Doing the best i can.

Ok then i go whit that.

One piece of advise. Would have been a better pic if you had put those parts on the white carpet an added some more light. Otherwise a good pic. I been wondering can i use Firestone super sport F70 tires. I mean where they around in 62? Or did they come later? But yeah considering the road back then and the tires thats might bee a good idea.

Your skill hasen t disappeared in those 35 years. Nice build we wan t more.

Guess im the first to post pics Here is the parts heap: And some test shot of the wheels and tires: Might yet go for some other tires since those are Dunlop Racing tires, and Jantrix stated its good to think: would i wanna drive cross the country whit racing tires. I guess not.

I m in whit a 1958 Ac ace Bristol. Thats the car that one Caroll Shelby based his Cobra on for those of you that wonder wata heck an Ac ace is.

Man nice builds that part box deuce is really good looking.

Since i haven t been able to find any good drawings of a vintage formula vee chassis. I v decided to go for a vintage vee look. The dream would be to find the drawings for a Finnish vee max and make a copy of that. But true been eyeballing both Beach and Zink,as well as Autodynamics an Kaimann. So it will bee in the lines of all thous. I my self have some parts from a lighter that i m gonna use as body parts. Just cut and piece together. Gee have to go on building my vee i guess.

You don t happen to have any drawings for a vintage formula vw?
