Thanks, gentlemen.
Little Willy, I'm glad you finally migrated from the asylum at the bottom of the main page 
OK Pappy, 100% done, as promised, It meets the rules, and I think it will be competitive. 
The rear wheels are barely legal, please install new wheels at about .778. Right now the left rear is a few thou too small. My fault.
The chassis was built to form-fit the body, provide some tilt and wiggle, and I hope it pays off in performance.
Body : with 10 years more practice, I could be almost as good as Jairus or Noose. 
The BRM paint was Fasgreen, with a few drops of Fasblue, and a couple drops of Fasblack.
Backed up with Fasilver.

Fantastic Pablo. Just goes to show you that you can make a slot car look like a real car with just a little effort. Very simple paint job with nice detailing. I love it and that's what Classic Retro is all about.

Hey Pablo,
The car arrived today and it looks better than it does in the pictures. Can't wait to give it a try. Many thanks Pablo.

Nice job! You sure you didn't get that body from me? Looks like one of the Dilworth JD bodies.

Hi Bill, not yet but we have a few guys interested in them. I'm thinking a Jail Door proxy series might go over, what do you guys think? Maybe link it with Paul's FCR F1 proxy series.
Noose, it is one of your bodies, I sent it to Pablo.
Paul, I have those and other Jail Door bodies. You can get them from me or Noose.
