I dug up a Honda F1 body and a 26D angle-winder chassis from Lester's spare parts box and used them to build this car.

I do not know what brand this Honda F1 body is.  It is wider than a Dynamic Honda F1.  This one really stumped us.

 

The angle-winder chassis which features plumber and floppy pans was cleaned and repaired.   Also, a home rewound 26D motor with aftermarket magnets was cleaned and installed.  Wheels and tires are Cox.  Rear tires are Cox extra soft compound.

 

The car is fast and handles well.   It drives like a sports car.

 

 

The body is wider than a Dynamic.  Here is a comparison.

I have never seen a Honda that wide either.

 

That chassis must be 2" wide if my eyechrometer is working?  Tire are 7/8" wide and that would make the car 3 &1/4" can you correct me?

 

I raced a Lotus 56 body with a 26D. Was faster than the inlines back in the day.

John, I guess the driver before Mr. Yamura hired Pete Arons.

Martin, good eye.  You are correct on the dimensions.
