Paul, that is my FAVORITE year and type of design chassis. The simple design of the jailhouse and two or three rod chassis is eye candy for me, and THIS one absolutely REEKS of sweetness!

Oh man, that is sweet! I love how the racing stripes on the driver's helmet match the car's stripes.

Pablito;
most excellent overall build,congrats on a great looker,,my question is simple,what ride height did you wind up with for front & rear wheels in relation to the track (.063,.050 ,???)
Cukras has taken one of the D3 Jaildoor cars,and lowered the ride height to 1/2 of what D3 is,and put a JK-7 in it,,,what a difference it made,it actually runs & HANDLES excellent now
im betting your car with Havlicek Power will be an awesome car too.
