Dave B Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I've finally finished my conversion of an old, pre-built, Heller P4 coupe into the 350 CanAm as run by David McKay's Scuderia Veloce down here in Aus. It's a fair representation of the car as I saw it raced at Longford back in March '68, not perfect as I haven't included the spare wheel vertically attached to the tail!! and a few other minor errors, but aesthetically I like it. The real car started life as a P4 spyder, chassis #058 67 but was converted for the CAn Am series into the 350. It was procured by Scuderia veloce and raced with some success down here before racing in South Africa by Paul Hawkins, as Team Gunston. It has just this year been converted back to a P4 spyder, no prizes for guessing what the unbuilt Union P4 is going to be converted into!!! Couple of more pics to follow, thanks for looking Dave

Crazy Ed Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Well done job on a rarely built and little known of Car! Too be honest I'm happy you didn't mount the spare Tire as in the CanAm it wasn't used.
