I've had my little green 289FIA slotcar since I was a 12 year old, and I didn't start down the 'full scale' track until 2011. Good reasons why it didn't happen until then....but at least it's happening now

Cheers,
Glen

I had ERA custom make everything for me. The only two things that, if I could go back in time and have them do, would be to install a removable trap door on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel so that lubricating the front driveshaft u-joint was easier, and second, it would have been nice if they had painted the underside of the dash and cowl white before they started any of the work. That would really make seeing things easier back up under there. Neither of those two points are all that big, but you asked, so I'm answering.

Other than the foul weather protection, I would have gone with a roadster instead of a coupe. I seem like I m too isolated in the coupe. I m so low and the windows are so small.
