I am now posting the #37 Porsche 904 photos over in Under Glass.  I had to change the side numbers as the they were disintegrating.   I also changed the front fender stripes to red.

Thanks to Helmut for the Virage Euro sponsor decals and Phil for the links to references.

Great job on the Cheetah

[Scooter757]

Sorry didn't meet the deadline I've been out with a knee injury not allowing me to sit at the bench. I am finally able to sit for a while. I have CSX 2127 engine done so far and the suspension is next. I managed to get the throttle linkage stuffed in between the carbs but you cant see much of it now with the carbs installed.

Wow, Donato, that Cheetah looks awesome. And to think you made it from a Corvette.

Thanks bud, kind of a Frankenvette. Was fun to give it a try anyway.

Although I didn't get my two Cobras done in time for the deadline, I did get to see one of the actual cars that competed in the race. The #12 Cobra of Bob Bondurant and Lew Spencer, which was one of the cars I really wanted to get going on, along with the restored version of the Gurney/Johnson Cobra, which I am almost done completing the engine for.

Thanks for additions - for the knee injury - here’s the fix - just bash a hole in the wall behind your workbench and stick your immobile leg right  thru - don’t  tel the misses …

[Rattlecan Dan]

Andrew, when exactly is or was this race to take place?

[absmiami]

March 17 -  don’t worry - we all crashed on turn 1 …
