Title: alluminium c3 body
Post by: nifty on October 11, 2008, 09:55:51 AM
now that i got your attention, thought this may be of interest to someone....
its a compltetly hand formed alluminium bodied late c3 funny car...in minature...
was made in the lates 80's and only one was made....looks a bit odd as its not on the chassis correctly because there is a dragster body underneath and he dont have the room to store both of them...so its piggy backing it.
normally has a 1200cc yamaha engine in the back, runs slicks, chain drive, no clutch and uses an air shirter to change the 6 gears in the trans.....
used to run 9's on the 1/4 but is now banned from racing...new rules make it illegal as the chassis rails are now to small and need to be sized up to 32mm then it can be raced again...pity its so dirty as hasnt moved in 5 yrs.... when legal again it will be fitted with a 1300 motor
