Pretty sure if this car was strip legal here it would likely run in the BB/A Class ? A few years back I ran out of 1-16 Kits, with a wait of around 6 months before being able to re stock I decided to Re Birth an Old black 1/24 Corvette I had sitting around. I also had a Pro stock chassis left over after I did a Terrible job on the body so I decided to combine the two. Had to use a Funnycar Engine with the Pro stock Rocker covers and funnycar Blower, this was then grafted to the Pro stock Lenco which I turned into a 3 Speed. Some of the original corvette interior was used and I scratch built the roll cage. Had to Lay the upper firewall back, it was a spare part which also houses the electronics package. Moved the front suspension Back and re arranged the steering Rack, also did a 90 degree Drive conversion for the Magneto. Filled over passengers area, added skirt extensions then after many many hours preparation sprayed it Chrome Yellow and added Modified Decals from Top End Miniatures. ..........Ian...........Fuel 2 Big Here's the Old Black Donor Body Under pic showing Pro Frame and shortened Lenco etc
