This is another example of a Frankenstein model...I had a modified AMT March Indy car and wanted to do something with a Toyota racing engine that I had. I used the front suspension from a Reynard F3000 as were the wheels and tires...what I started with...OH! By the way anyone have an idea what windscreen this one is?

What I had in mind...

...the car was supposed to be driven by a World Driving Champion...

However after screwing up something I had to re-do the whole paint scheme...

Very interesting, Patrick. What was wrong with the original? I like them both. I have wondered if more of the ladder series would be cost effective if they shared chassis, so I like the concept. The execution is really good, too.

Oh, well. Patrick
