hats off to the painter 8) Title: Re: 58 GASSER Post by: melvin on July 12, 2014, 23:04:44 pm thx you all for the reactions,
the wheels will be brm or erco wheels i think, engine is a 1915cc , lexan windows, pud the name on it...... Title: Re: 58 GASSER Post by: jick on July 12, 2014, 23:28:25 pm Sounds good dude....all I'll say is think/plan & consult people who's opinion you respect.....
I've seen too many beautifully styled race cars let down by graphics/ names etc painted on them that just don't suit the overall style /era of the build.... Of course, just my opinion, but I've had a few glasses of wine and thought I'd share it ! Cheers.....Jick Title: Re: 58 GASSER Post by: ottobros on July 13, 2014, 12:34:58 pm Chassis , body and roll cage of this car all build by lenard from Otto bros Belgium

the good news is the car is ready and my first run on DDD is a blast i run straight from the trailer 12,6 sec with the 1915CC ( never run 1 meter before, never test the car) it was a run not the full 400m on the gas, i broke my clutch from 3the to 4the gear and i pud the engine off around 300m here some pīcs of the car, LIME JUICE is born ;) (http://i61.tinypic.com/2iu8c9z.jpg) (http://i62.tinypic.com/33jhkew.jpg) (http://i57.tinypic.com/2j4qdrn.jpg) (http://i60.tinypic.com/2qdv1xy.jpg) (http://i57.tinypic.com/16h0sc6.jpg) Title: Re: 58 GASSER Post by: oldschoolfool on September 21, 2014, 21:43:07 pm super stunning!!!! ;)
