Yep, these were all passed around about day 2 of this site....we even contacted the makers of them in Europe....I just got an email update of his new shop/address....
(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They were willing to sell one to someone here and allow them to copy it for US. use, but that was about it....they were getting hard to get as I remember too.....maker was no longer doing them....

It was quite a long time ago. Hopefully some of the newer members will get a kick out of these pics.
Here's another batch: (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/42Camaro31.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/bil201.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/bil21-21.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/bil21-31.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/bil21-41.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/bil311.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/JasonWW/Euro%20Race%20Cars/cam721.jpg) |

LOL, I remember those pics. I also remember getting in touch with those guys. The emails were a little tough to read but they were some nice guys willing to help us out over here.
I wouldnt mind having the black one in the first set of pics! |

They are some cool ass F-bodys. I wish I could make mine look like that. The Black one looks great. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I wish I had the funds for something like that.

They were willing to send us a body kit to use and even copy and distribute around here if I remember.....but it was LARGE $$$$$ just to get one set of them here, and nobody wanted to step up...... |

I wonder why they couldn't send us the specs on them and let us make our own from that?

Pics are as close to "specs" as you would get I would think....it is up to you to now go into the garage and copy them and then sell them here for profit.....

Specs on a body kit? Create a 3d grid of them. In other words, put the fender a certain distance from the wall. Then, measure things like, "6 inches from the front seam, 12 inches from the ground, the fender is 15.5 inches from the wall; move 6 inches to the rear (still 12 inches from ground), the fender is 14.75 inches from the wall."
I used this method back in college when I had a friend measure the chord of a Cessna wing for an aerodynamic engineering project. Of course, he was measuring relative to the ground, but the principle is the same. It's not the most accurate thing, but it gets you well into the ballpark. Or, I'd hope it would for someone who does this stuff - perhaps not . . . laying fiberglass and forming body panels is a black art to me. |

I found the allowance for the plexiglas side curtains interesting. I can't imagine FIA or other body approving it, but who knows what goes on over there. Certainly, not something allowable here under full race conditions. The only thing close is NASCAR allowing such curtains for Qual.

I don't care how many times I see the black car. But every time I do it makes my pee pee tingle.
