I finally made a chassis for my Cooper T73 Russkit body.
I was inspired by a montage made by Rick (dc-65x) as I often admit.
Pittman DC 196B motor with a brass U held by 2 screws.

Nice suspension details. Always a make or break item.

One of my personal favorites Regis and beautifully done as always.
I built mine very similar in livery and componentry to yours back in 2008.
I commend your modification to the Pittman motor eliminating the restrictive factory axle brackets.
Beautiful car.
