This is one of my latest projects. The Fola RS Spyder body has being lurking in my drawer for some time, but then i needed a body for my Neckcheese FHB2 chassis as the old Toyota GT1 was nearly disintegrating :-(
The aim was to build a car for club racing, not a concours winner :-)

The body was painted white many months ago, and since my paint booth was occupied with other stuff I decided to hand paint the body and add some home made Lucky Strike decals.
I have made several cars in this livery since my first Porsche 917 based on the car entered by David Piper in South Africa in 1971, but I like the livery, so here it is:







The chassis is home made from 1,5 mm brass and 1,0 mm Carbon and is FAST. It made 2 track records and won a club race on the first outing :-)

more pics of the chassis: My link

more pics of my cars: My Picasa Album and here: My lWeb Site

The car is not a beauty queen, but looks good on the track and drive well, so what more could you wish :-) - it will be tested at a regional race tomorrow

Good job, Niels! It may not win Concours but it's a darn sight better lookin' than MY cars!

It's nice to see a classic livery reimagined Niels.

I like it!

But doesn't the guider nut interfere with the movement of the front axle carrier plate?

I have a Schöler chassis that I bought through Professor Motor. But it didn't come with those sweet, spring-loaded movement screws. Is there somewhere that individual Schöler parts and/or the JP motor mount can be purchased by those of us here in the USA? I would love to try to build something similar, if I could get the parts.

James,

You can buy those parts in Germany from Dieter Jens, who is a very nice guy who speak fluent English and has all the necessary parts in his shop:

The guide nut gives no problem. The chassis plate actually acts like the guide stop.

Thanks for the link, Niels.

Spendy little bits, they are! That may have to wait until I'm feeling more wealthy.

It looks "concours" to me!! Very nice, Niels!
