Old Sprinter Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 . I built this mock up of a car I designed and am going to build starting next month. I will race this in vintage shows in the west. The cars have to look like supers from the 70s and have a buggy spring front with a beam axle, and a roof. It will be a 410. They can't have more than 6" of offset so I moved the motor over 3" and the axles over another 3" then tilted the engine 30 degrees for left side weight bias.
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Nice model. What scale? Any in progress shots.
Old Sprinter Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) It's 1/8 scale.Here's one of the progress pictures. Fiberglass body, styrene frame,wheels and motor, and aluminum wing torque plate and belly pan. It's built like all the models I do. Edited October 21, 2014 by Old Sprinter

Old Sprinter Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Ken, have fun with your new hobby," VINTAGE RACE CARS". Be safe and have FUN !!!!! CHEERZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MADD FABRICATORI will. It's still dangerous but not as bad as a weekly sprint car show. You have to be over 40 to even drive one of these. That's the rule and they are considering making it 50. So as fast as I think I use to be, I also realize the importance of not driving over my head or making moves that might startle the other guy.
