The chassis he has for sale looks a lot like one of Laurie Bongalias chassis.

Talking Ooooh yeah..

Hi all

May sound a little bit harsh there, but I'm yet to see any ADR approved side pipes let alone drawings for them.

Then again...

Guess I'd like to make $250,000 a year selling Cobra chassis...

Bernie

I was going to bid, but I gather the drawings are in crayon and they might smear on the way...

That's not an RCM chassis although some parts are similar.
No mention of moulds either. I would have thought that the moulds are the most expensive bit.

It's David Tucker from the long defunct RC sports cars.
