I have put this on hold for a couple of years but the time is now right resurrect the project and get this bit of American racing history back together as a proper car the way it was built. Here is a link to my Facebook album please feel free to comment or advise. I would like to get this finished by next spring and see if I can revive that invite I had to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, may even try to get one of the original pilots from the 70's behind the wheel. I will adventually need some NASCAR style Goodyear Slicks but a long way off from that just yet.

I don't intend to race the car and in fact as you can see I have stripped off the fibreglass rear quarters and big rear spoiler and have a doner 2nd gen which I am going to remove the rear end from and stitch it to the original roof so I will be actually be adding weight to the car. I will aslo run it as they did with steel bonnet and boot and glass windshields back and front which will up the weight. I will build a replica 400 bhp engine for her, I already have the block, heads, full original Weaver drysump equipment including all lines and Mooneyes tank of the orginal style and pan. It has the Ford 9inch axle (naughty GM) Lincon uprights and Ford steering bix (tut, tut) and I have 97% of all the parts I need to complete including no less than 6 front wings I came across and a front spoiler from the original mould in the States. I will use it for a few trackdays and displays etc.
