[T-Test]

Make sure you drill lightening holes in the axle for the "cool" look. I did on mine!!!!

Looks like you're finding some good parts.

Great looking project. I like the engine choice. Looks like you are giving some of Henry's parts another chance on life. Are the prices on the lakester website in Brazilian Real? Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks man!! :thumb:


The prices are in Brazilian Real, 1 US dollar is about 1.60 Brazilian Real.

Is a very good body, very clean and shaped!

That is still pretty reasonable (about $620) for a nicely made body--especially for the extras that are built in this one. I'm not bi-lingual, but I made out that the body is a replica of a Whippet? Its nicely proportioned and the body lines are striking. Bet shipping to the US would be more than the cost of the body!
