Here's a look at my new BRM I just finished.
Of course Parma motor and gears, repop rims, Parma rubber. And a body by my favorite maker, John Dilworth.
Enjoy the photos.
Parma Paul.
PS: Any requests for my next build?

Sharp-looking GP car, Paul!
Suggestion for a next build: construct a brass rod sports car with Deathstar horsepower. Use one of the Parma vintage bodies.

Nice stance and good looking car.
How's it go on the track?

Here's the link to Parma's retro bodies: http://parmapse.shpt...es_retro-bodies Here, you'll find a stockcar, 2 formula ones, & 10 sportscar bodies they sell. Take your pick. I raced hard body hot rods last night at the local home/club track. Hard body cars can be a lot of fun but a hard body (model kit or resin) is about 2-2 1/2 times what a lexan body costs. For some hard body chassis ideas, look at Keith Tanaka's build articles posted on here. If you wish, use the appropriate motor bracket & power them with a 16D rather than the FKs Keith uses. PM's forged bracket might be a good choice, because it fits both style motors & you've already used them.
