photo of tub is captioned "Chassis 1076" could that be correct?

Quote 1 "i have relised that the gulf blue and orange strip wont look good with out the decals and the roundels. Thi sin effect will make it looking like a track car, and would look a little funny driving it around as a weekend car." Quote 2 "i think you guys have put my mind to ease. Essex...

I agree that there has been too many threads but I also think it will always be a valid question. Perhaps the powers that be could create a "hot topics" sub forum to help direct traffic for those who are interested particularly the new members. After all, how many threads are there about how to...

Very nice car. Congrats! Tell us a bit more about the chassis and body, please.

Fran, All the best! Although we have not had dealings, I have heard great things of you. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years, so that you may continue your great works! Mark

Feb 14th, Valentines' Day sounds like the best day to intervene between man/wife and man/car.

Eric, It looks as though you have gained your knowledge from the same sources I have... "McLaren believed they could keep the price down by using a production 7 litre Ford engine." I think Bruce MaLaren knew a little about the strength and reliability of the 427. If you are using a ZF, I...
