Pendle’s has “10 inch” aluminum wheels, and tires to go with. (I think they are rubber rather than Urethane)

-Warren ZevonSorry, I did not know about this thread. Not sure if I should cross-post proposed Monte here or not

-Warren ZevonO think there is (or was an Ocar Saab 96 shell. Car shells need a lot of work, they tend to be thick and heavy, I hear.
The reason I was thinking spec Predator motor was among other things, approaching slow car corner about being a sponsor for the series.
Will have to re-thing ground clearance. Just measured my TR+6. (Did not run the Monte, but some Spitfire fastbacks did.) Anyway, with the small wheels, the motor can is less than 3/32 from the set-up block surface. Would like to avoid slammed cars that don’t look right for the period.

Well, I’m having fun with it anyway. No terrible kinks, that I have found, but there is a “bump” on the green lane at the table join. Can probably shave it down. Very different character when you switch directions.
Great looking rocks Marc ????
Thanks Mark. Lots of reference around here, living at the bottom of the Niobrara sea. 😉

-Warren ZevonTrack is operational, timing system installed. The Paper MAche’ shell is almost complete. Need to work in the foam rock work, and I want to get that part mostly painted before sticking down.

-Warren ZevonMark, in 1986/89 from what I can determine, F1 steering wheels looked pretty normal.
Here is a 1988 McLaren cockpit.

-Warren ZevonInterested to know what alterations we will be allowed make to forestall failure of the crown gear hub. I replaced my crown with a brass hub NSR piece, because of Aluminum’s propensity for galling.

-Warren ZevonRuss, I notice that headlights are required. I can open up the eyes of the stingray, like a club racer, if that is needed. Is is needed?

-Warren ZevonThinking of names. Considering the cat puked on the esses after routing, but before paint, causing some…. “surface irregularities” I was thinking maybe:
Hauskatze erbrechen Laufbahn
Circuito del vomito di gatto
Progress is progressing. 2 of 3 tables are braided, leaving the hard one for last. It has the bridge, and the timing gear. Waiting for my Trackmate package to arrive.

-Warren ZevonI ordered a set of decals purpose built for the NSR F1 86-89 cars from LEB Hobbies. They almost fit on the test car. Had a devil of a time getting them to conform, but this may because my setting solution is old.
BTW, Mission Models paint takes some getting used to, but I think I may be able to work with them.

-Warren ZevonI think the AMT Stingray is quite a nice kit, with some small issues. The rear bumperettes are supported by the license plate, so there was a big ugly chunk taken out of the back. Sheet styrene to the rescue. I got it CHEEP at Hobby Lobby.
