snapper_city Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 After seeing some of your builds Tony I'm sure you will cope just fine. Looking forward to seeing this. Could you imagine driving one of these fast and the total unprotected nature of it compared to today's vehicles. I bet it was exhilarating..

Bengalensis Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ah, a wonderful subject, great looking car from good old years. This I'm sure will be a build to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wow, right up my street. One of my favourite race cars. I know the rules don't permit it but there are some wonderful real spoked wire wheels available on ebay or you could use the tutorial posted on BM. The old Merit kits can look great oob as the general shape was usually very good. Vid of J M Fangio at the wheel. Cheers, Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Aftermarket is not OK - but scratching is...
