Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
You forgot to install the bottom ones….
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

Maybe it needs some spoilers for down force while accelerating.

Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
It was a car barely alive but we can rebuild it better ,stronger , faster ....
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
Cool!
So, can we assume this launch will be televised like the others??
Dadio is right, the body is developing a certain ... um ... patina.

Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
You changed this up a little bit!
Where did you end up wheelbase and wheeltrack wise? I got a pretty little original Bolink funny car body NIP that I would donate to the cause.
