Lightfoot has some pics on his website, hope these help. I actually redesigned the suspension arm openings at his request to accommodate the f104 arms.

I added some more detail on my recommended front body mount installation. here

I find that most RC guys are pretty resourceful and might figure out a better or cheaper mounting system.

My body shell is in the mail.

Given my past history with painting bodies, I might have it painted in time.

Is "Mario Brothers" an acceptable livery?

4 Bodies ordered

Hey Charles,

Just ordered 4 bodies, 1 for myself and 3 for other guys from TQ interested in running the class. I was going to dump my F104 v1, but after seeing your site I've decided to keep it. This class is going to be awesome.

Any room for one more? Number 11, RA272.

I'm ok with it but you might want to check with the VF1 committee.

OK... first Vintage F1 signups are closed... done...

Car # 1 ..... Doug Rebel
Car # 5 ......Mark G
Car # 3 ......Lightfoot
Car # 7 ......Tony Phalen
Car # 9 ......John Christensen
Car # 15 .....Lee Passehl
Car # 2 ......T. Marshall
Car # 11.....Bensi Lopez
Car # 12.....Mark Barden
Car # 13.....Carlos

Just so everyone knows the rear Tamiya tires need to be warn enough so the seam is gone... this will help keep costs down and prevent folks from slapping on new rubber each race...

I just passed the list off to Jeff...
