Ok, after 40+ years I have finally finished my take on the Bill Thomas Cheetah as driven by Jerry Titus. The debut came in January 64 at Riverside Raceway. Unfortunately while leading the pack the lower radiator hose broke dumping water under the rear tyres. The car went off on turn one, mounted the guard rail and went over the top. Jerry survived but the car was heavily damaged. My interpretation is based on a Cox slot car body, a '63 Corvette kit (engine and rear suspension) and a lot of styrene!! Painted in auto acrylic and clear coated, decals by Patto. Tks for looking. Dave B

Ok, I've been building this for the last 40 years and it's time to do some more work on it while I still can!!! An old mate of mine, now deceased, gave me two Cox Cheetah bodies. One had the roof broken off so I built that first as the Crosal roadster but kerbside. I then started this as a full detail version and have been on and off it for the past 40 years. All the frame is scratch built, a Corvette provided the rear suspension and the front is scratch built but not finished as I have yet to fit a rack and steering column. The engine is from the donor Corvette. Time to start again, wish me luck. Dave B
