In our last post we mentioned that the chassis needed to be extended by 2" well what is happening is the the rear axle is going to be moved back 2" to bring the wheel to be more centred on the wing/arch. This will involve changes to the 4 bar, prop and shock mounts with some profiling of the wing to get the right look. It will extend the wheel base to 92" instead of the orginal 89" but it should help with stability on the race strip This picture shows the problem! A couple more pictures showing the overall stance which I think looks great Cheers Bomber

I loved you sitting on my knee and our lovely lunches together Far, far, way too much information, especially for the shy retiring types with a vivid imagination that make up the membership of this club Looks great, Ken

Im afraid I won't be fitting a passenger seat, for this year, at least, the car will be 'full race' but with the prvisions for putting it on the road depending on how it behaves
