Mid life crisis or craziness ?

Funny old world we live in ...5 degrees of separation and all that.

Was at a boat building mate's factory last week and talking to his off-sider who is building a 1930's something plane. However it was a comment in relation to a P51 picture in the factory that set the wheels a whirring.

Seems I've a Mustang build option if I feel the urge as per the link:

Titan Aircraft - T-51D Mustang

So replica Cobra and replica Mustang....hmmmmm

Just need to become effluent to afford all this!! ..... lol

I remember years ago seeing a 3/4 scale P51 replica that was running Big block chev power. I think Rod Hadfield was involved with supplying an aluminum block for them with the full aero conversion (i.e twin plug heads etc). I thought it was an Australian built kit but I haven't been able to find it again. It was at a wings and wheels show at Ballarat air field. It sounded magic flying over with BB chev wailing through open pipes.

I'm not normally a spelling or grammar nazzi but I couldn't help but laugh at your last statement Slowy.

"Just need to become effluent to afford all this!! ..... lol"

It that the NZ spelling of "affluent" or do you mean rich as sh!t

I'll keep looking for that Aussie P51 replica info.

Cheers

Rod Hadfield was heavily involved in producing a big block and reduction gear for crop dusters but I believe it al became too hard due to all the beuracratic red tape and what not !!
