...but not nearly as bad as if you hit your endbell while soldering on leadwires. Talk about smelling salts! :laugh2: :laugh2:

The front wheels are 3/4" Riggen of which the front tires have been ground to the 5/8" rim level.
The chassis is positively from 1972 with two drop-arm springs, no one did it before then, the motor is a mix of a 1970 Mura C-can and one later 1972 buss bar, but the body is a 1969 Dave Bloom creation over a Dynamic McLaren M8.

If your referring to the car in post # 43...isn't that a Champion/Waters Mc Laren body? ;)
