Cheetah

[Brianl]

Iconic Cobra competitor! Built up from a resin slot car shell. Bit ruff, particularly the glass but looks good on the shelf. Kerbside only.

Looks great. One of my favorite vintage race cars...based on looks alone.  

EDIT: It's kindof a shame the Cheetah never got the development that could have made it a world-beater. 

Its frame wasn't stiff enough, the suspension geometry needed fine tuning, and the cockpit heat issue needed to be addressed with more effective insulation...all relatively easy to deal with effectively..

I'm with you Bill, if it had gotten the "backing" that Shelby and Ford provided the Cobra, no telling how the racing history would have gone....

NICE JOB!!!!

Nicely done!

Very beautiful build of an even more beautiful car.  Nice job.

Looks good: These mean machines must have been really a handful - similar to a rodeo cowboy riding a bull: sitting almost on the drive axle while trying to handle the power.

And stewing in your own sweat from the heat.

Those were wicked little cars for sure! And wicked fast. They were named right. Nice job on that.
