Factory Five 289FIA Build

[xb-60]

Very nice car! Modelled on CSX2001?
Is that a Lucas generator, or have you used an alternator built into a gen. housing?
You have done a great job on what must be record time.
Cheers,
Glen

Yes!....I modeled it after CSX 2001 ..sweet!

I used the alternator built into the generator housing for the "fooled ya" look.

Still torn on whether or not to paint the wheels black...kinda like it like it is....I still have to put the #1 meatballs on it, but I have to let the paint relax a few more days.

Did you make up the alternator yourself, or can you buy it like that? I have a vague recollection I've seen them somewhere.....?

Go all the way....paint the wheels black like CSX2001!
