"Dummkopf"

FROSTY · 2012-10-27T09:36:38+00:00

Hi There, after trying to build a dragster last year (that's another story) I have decided to do a tube car. I have been running a 63 beetle with a quickest of 13.69sec and this is just not enough so the plan is to build a new one using the engine, box and front end with some up grades in the future. Looking round the net there are some really cool budget builds and some of these home built machines are inspiring. Over the last 3 weeks I have got it off the ground and starting to look the part. "Dummkopf" it already has a name

Your doing a fantastic job with your car. If yours is anything like mine- there's a long time between when it's "rolling" and ready to race. Keep at it and I know how many hours the ally panel work takes out of your life.

Stanley I guess the reward is in the doing of it

Hi There, I had Nicko drop off my new rear wing (thanks Nils, outstanding sheet work) its a little big so i will have to do a little trimming, i know i don't need it but it'll look cool.
I also got some more of the alloy paneling done today, gee it is such a time consuming job, if i ever do it again i will have someone else do it. haha.

Great work frosty!! Looking good!! You'll need that wing just in case there is strong winds at willowbank as it'll stop you from being blown off the track!!

Matt we will leave them alone cause you know what happens when you have a joke and the cockies take it too seriously....

Ben you got that engine in yet?
