Track car build

[wayne]

Cheers Paul, ive got a standard Capri atlas and wasn't sure if it needed narrowing
For an escort. Are you keeping the track width standard at the front or making it
Wider like the rear??

I'm using the wider GP4 alloy front hubs but only 8inch rims with a -7 ET, I would like to also run 9,s on the front but think the handling would be a issue and too heavy on the steering with resorting to power steering ?

Just remembered the Rothmans car i built in my sig had a standard 2.8 axle with 8 inch rims and tarmac arches and fitted perfect

Did you take any photos of that build?
Cheers Dave

Decided to throw myself into it and get it in colour so had a really busy week















It's turned out ok considering where I paint them and the amount of dust and contaminates in the air Ohhhhh to have a spray booth !!! It will need a heavy flat and polish to get the lumps out of it
And here's one of it outside after a over a year !! I'm sure it squinted in the sun
