Fwiw............1:6 scale CAE sprint car in cast aluminum. Prototype of a production run, still have to fab grill, steering wheel, headers and roll hoop. Grill and steering wheel are CAD designed but not started fab, will be laser cut br*** sheet with soldered joints. Gotta find tires. Knockoffs are left and right-hand thread, front is flatter than rear = corner specific! Jim Grant 707-342-3190 pacific
Looks similar ..................but it's a static model only. The way it's cast, it is too heavy for a running car. My interest is in doing the detail, which a tether car has to compromise. The motor is a diecast Liberty Cl***ics 1:6 Corvette 327 from Summit racing. Plan to do a scale Hilborn. Jim
How much and when & where can we buy one?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE="Doc" Parsons;7587243]Where can I get one?[/QUOTE] Gonna be at least $1200..........suggest you wait till I get the prototype finished for final details. I will keep this thread up-to-date. Am waiting on foundry to cast wheels at the momt. Have agreed to sell one bronze-cast model to my "sponsor" in neighbouring workshop. Bronze is the same patterns as aluminum. Thanks for the interest, Jim Grant
Project has come to a halt cos of the non-availability of a milling machine.. have bronze castings partly machined but THEY'RE HEAVY. 37 lbs (for upper and lower body sections combined) compared to aluminum at 17lbs. Jim
