I have heard so much about this car for months and didn't realise it was yours Steve! Will you be at the Mopar Nats this year? I hope so because I would love to see the car.

It is almost exactly like a 1/24th model I made years ago.

Hi Dave,
It should be at the mopar nats, but then l said that last year until l broke my wrist the week of the meet! I hope what you've heard is good!!!!!!!!
Cheers, Steve.

Nice car!

If you ever get to the US west coast, please come scare my neighbors!

It looks poisonous if you ask me. Challengers rules!

by **mopar steve** » 16 Apr 2004 13:29

oh no, and i've thrown away the antidote!!!!!!!!!

by **mopar steve** » 21 Apr 2004 8:51

Early engine shot. :shock:

by **dave-r** » 21 Apr 2004 9:48

What is the story on the chassis? Who built it etc?

by **mopar steve** » 21 Apr 2004 13:16

Dave, it was built wa---ay back in 1991, by Geoff Owen, who has since sadly stopped trading, he did a real good deal back then which was a package covering, chassis, suspension, mounting the engine/box further back, narrowing the rear axle, steering, and obviously remounting the main bodyshell.The finished chassis picture below.

Very nice car Steve. I enjoyed the pics.

by **mopar steve** » 22 Apr 2004 17:58

Thanks challengerman. :lol:

Wheh, must have missed this one! Steve, your car looks freaking tough mate. How could I miss one like this? Must log in more regular!

This is the kind of car I still MUST own sometime. Drop in a pumpgas mill and play with the guys reving the 4bangers at the lights! (not that I have to worry about that right now anyway) Must be a blast to ride a thing like that.

We want more pics!! How's the paint actually, on the photo's it looks kind of I don't know how to call this. Wanna swap cars, as a rolling body off course :shock:

Keep it going!

by **mopar steve** » 23 Apr 2004 7:00

Hans,
glad you like the car, the paint is FC7, plum crazy, but from ici, which for some reason, comes out a different shade, slightly crazier than usual crazy! Yes it is fun at the lights!! :twisted:

Thanks to jeff brown & dave dick for a selection of photo's, others by me!

by **dave-r** » 23 Apr 2004 10:32

So Dave Dick and Jeff Brown have been taking photos of your car for you eh?

I don't think I have ever met Dave Dick? But he has taken some good photos of my car in the past.

Jeff Brown (Big Red 'n' Loud) I do know very well. He has this slow red car that even my female friends keep overtaking.
