This a kitbash of a scaley GP Eagle. Still waiting for Indy decal numbers.

You forgot to put it on Auslot :o !

Aagh. And then I :liar: discovered you didn't . :doh:

:idea: Slotcarouthouse and make it 5 out of 5 ?

[belles51]

Nice job. Too bad there isn't an easy way to offset the suspension as was the case with F1 cars modified to run at Indy in those days.

I'm not clever enough to know the difference other than for Indy they appear to have a different engine of intake exhaust layout.

As for "Indy Offset. It can be done but a lot of work. I'm half way :liar: through a ISMA oval racer and that is severely offset. But I will not get all the wishbones and everything perfect, that is real hard work.

This was the easiest kitbash ever. I just snipped the exhaust supports, disconected the exhausts (very carefully) and valves with a flathead screwdriver. Then I glued the injectors and beardog exhausts.
My Lotus kitbashes were much more complex.

If memory is right, the Indy cars ran the Ford V8 and in F1 they ran the Weslake V12, I think. The V8 had the top exhaust, the Weslake it came out of mid engine.
