Checking the chassis for fit and clearance for cornering. The pictures have 8 degrees of lean which doesn't seem like much, but the passenger would be swimming in his own sick by now

That is it I'm going to have to have a sale. These are my type of rides, I must have them.
 A one off I could avoid but now you are making more. Would you know if your chassis fits into a scaley general lee? |

It does fit a Pioneer Charger so shouldn't have any problems with a Scaley car. The wheelbase and track are almost the same as my '77 Dodge Monaco.
I don't have any wheel inserts to suit, wonder if they're available already? -------------------- |

Am I right in thinking these will be available for sale at the slot festival Gareth? Maybe one of the dealers would have them, can you tell us which one?

The plan is to launch this, the Cadillac and one other at the Slot Car Festival, but it's a tough job with the master model, the resin casts, the interiors and graphics all to get ready!
They'll be demonstrated exclusively on the Circuits To Scale track where you can see for yourself that fastest isn't always the most fun White paint on, masking next and then black paint

It seems to be a growing market, and when you see parts coming up from nothing it really is amazing.
Not usually strong enough for real bodyshells, and too expensive as well, but great for master moulds. -------------------- |

Other work has been getting in the way of this, not least a new chassis to fit it, the Cadillac and the forthcoming van. But at last the interior is done, and yes - they're wearing sunglasses
