Approx. $60-65 for the kit which contains all the speced parts.

I'm shooting for May on holding it.

[Dave Crevie]

Wow! I did not expect so much interest. I entered into this project with some trepidation, but

so many guys have jumped in on this. This will be fun.

[Gator Bob]

Count me in ....

[Milkman]

Are the kits available now?

[MSwiss]

They are except for the resin interior /drivers figure which is about a week away.

[Gator Bob]

This will be fun, I'll see if I can build one more for a friend also.

 

Anyone on proxy the fence ... watch the video from the Dynamic Challenge round that Mike and the gang from CR put on!

My Monogram based Kurtis-Ferrari. Cady decals, Fujimi driver kit. Body mounded on scratch built brass chassis powered by Parma 16D

 

In 1955, Nino Farina, World Champion for Alfa Romero in 1950, wanted to drive the Indianapolis 500 in a Ferrari before he retired.  So with Bardahl as a major sponsor, and the cooperation of Ferrari, a Kurtis 500D chassis powered by a modified 121 LM 4412cc, 6 cyl engine was put together 1955, and shipped to America May 1956. Unfortunately the machine lacked speed and its qualification attempt was rainded out.

It was from Sano II. (2X-charcoal grey)

 

I'll print this post out so I don't forget it again.

Here is what I've got so far..........Remember what Mike Swiss posted about guide lead length....for the flag to be under the body..........it should be around .250. Also Mike mentioned to me, that the first set of little slots on the left and right of the C/R tongue is a good place to line up to the edge of your chassis nose piece to give you rotational clearance for the guide flag.

 

This chassis is a "W" rail design. .062 rails, .062 front and rear pcs, 3/16" wide .062 bracing to fill in the angle of the bracket to the chassis. The 30 T gear fits fine with the .062 on the bottom.

Still have to do a little bracing etc.

[Dave Crevie]

Ray you did the same thing I did by adding brass strip stock to the sides of the bracket so

that the rails can be kept flat and level to the bottom of the body. Nice work as usual.

Ray,

Thanks for posting pics of your chassis and reminding builders some of the things they have to look for, such as the super-short guide lead.

 

As mentioned, if you line up the notches of the guide at the end of your nose pc. or a skosh inboard, you'll have plenty of room for any popular guide flag to rotate, including, of course, the required Parma Blade.

Here's some pics of Dave's Z-railer chassis.

 

Note, it was built before the rules were determined, so it might not quite be legal width.

 

 

 

 

[Gator Bob]

The chassis looks real good Ray !  Thanks for the chassis pics, Mike.

Bob,

Great looking car.

 

The paint and number fonts/meatballs are just so cool looking.

 

I'm almost afraid to think what someone like Noose or Jairus could do painting one of these up.

[Matt Sheldon]

1.375 sounds like a plan................but I'm going to sand off the "Pro Track" on the tires....lol

 

Small squirt of lighter fluid and a scotchbrite and it comes right off.

[Dave Crevie]

I hope we will see more prototype paint schemes on these rather than the rainbow warrior

types we see in other classes. 

[Pablo]

Dave, I just bought a set of Testors Enamels for my driver figure.

I'll do the best I can with my shakey hands

[Paul Jurczyszyn]

Pablo,
Any word on when the kits will be ready to buy?
Have not recieved any word.

[MSwiss]

I'm hoping the driver/interior will be ready this weekend.

[JohnnySlotcar]

I'm going with the "Wynns Friction Proofing Special", as I slot raced with the Wynn's owners son. He had a 90 foot routed track in his basement in Deerfield Il. His name was Jay Brown!

[MSwiss]

Dave confirmed he'll be bringing in interior/drivers on Saturday.

[Gator Bob]

Mike,

Will the body kits have driver and exhaust header?

[MSwiss]

Mike,

Will the body kits have driver and exhaust header?

Yes.

 

Also wheel inserts with knock-offs.

 

The interior fits real nice.

 

The parts did come in on Saturday and complete kits will be available to ship on Monday.

 

Complete kit is now $59.95.

 

For the Proxy race the resin driver/ interior will be required, but not the exhaust and wheel insets
