Brake drums are awesome! Glad you put the ruler there, I couldn't remember what size a 5p coin was/is.

Thanks Kev and Leo,
Leo I'm pretty pleased how she runs, I wasn't sure how what the tall thin tyres would be like. But pleasantly surprised.
I'm going to try a few different motors to see what the limits I can take her to.

Tall thin tyres work great until you try sliding the rear end round

Tony,
It looks and runs absolutely amazing!
Tall thin tires work great if you don't over drive the car. We race pre-war cars all the time.

Hi guy's, I've finally got started on the bodywork.
Carving out the majority of the body with balsa.
I'll slowly hollow out the inside.
Cheers
