I think these pictures confirm what I already knew....Chris is a master builder.

I would like some chassis pictures though and also a better look at the cars further down the grid.

Now Chris I don't know if you have a Wolverine but perhaps you should ask me for a body kit?

Hi John,....I do not have a Wolverine, but, I likely should buy one  Sun

David Mitcham did a nice job on one of your "Wolverines" a few years back.

Hi John, I don't have handy pic. of everything, but, here are a few..........

A Lola T163,....using a clear lexan body from Truescale,.......I did cut out some grill openings and added a few bits and pieces.

It was taken on a dull day, with the colour being a much more vibrant orange,....looks a bit red in the pics.

Ahha,...just found a better pic. of the colour,.......the light can sure change things...........

At the time this was built, I was playing around with "Hybrid" chassis designs (plastic pods and wire/brass chassis plates),....I have reverted to maily brass/wire chassis.

Another from the back of the Grid is this Strombecker McKee Mk10,....again some bodywork done, bits and pieces made/added.

I do not have a pic. of this cars' chassis but it is a slightly modified 1/32 AMT brass job.

The chassis for the Ferrai 612 (front row of grid),....powered by a "sample" FC-050 motor,.....a great running car !!

Below  is the chassis for the Aurora McLaren M12 (also front row),........considering the age of the real car, and early CanAm in general, I wanted a relatively low tech chassis (inline ) with gobs of torque !!

And a Fly Chevron (back of grid),.......this one  won the the "Pan America" proxy a few years back, and, I humbly submit , by a mile  Sun
