1 bad55 stan Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi All thanks for your comments,Its a revell pro stock chassis from the Reher-Morrison Kit.I had to add around 10mm to the length to get the wheel base correct.I also changed the gearbox tunnel as it had a square ish tunnel, All comments are welcome.
