New project a comin' Part Deux

Post by Rooster »

I too have a new project. Only one person here know what it is. Here's a few hints:

It's race ready (New engine rebuild is a must tho')
It'll be Class VI Formula Libre
It'll do hill climbs
It's never been to a sccv event.
It's not even from New England
It's not one solid color, but not primer either.
It's going to beat Nick G's car...

When are you getting it, how far do you have to go to get it?

Is it a PA Hillclimb car? I know they have a bunch of crazy open wheels cars down there.

OK, I'll post up a pic

Right now (or was) a SCCA DP racer. I plan on a full cage (PBS style) and a rebuilt motor with more torque and hp.
