Because I don't have enough to do, that's why.
I've fallen in love with the Group 5 car that's recently been delivered to The Red Barn where we're going to give it a bit of love and improvement. This will be covered in various "At The Red Barn" YouTube videos. THIS thread will cover my attempt to build my own set of Group 5 body panels. You'll have to wait to learn what material(s) I may have selected, as well as seeing which chassis they go on. For now, let's get started. Attached thumbnail(s)

Like the solid trans mounts Rick, those are simple T6 aluminum blocks, that are machined/ drilled and done. On the outer ends of my QuickSix mount bar (yellow stripes) I use the rear trans mount rubber-pillows from the 9146. This gives the drivetrain decent freedom to move 'Just enough. Marty  |
