on another note, thanks again Manny
Thank You! I really like the big tire look. If you look closely at the pics of the prototype on the VF1 website you'll see that my car has f104W tires from the Lotus 79 kit. They don't get any bigger than that unless you use the Tamiya Indycar wheels!

I was telling Lightfoot that the Vf1 spec car looks like a mid 60's car with skinnier wheels and narrower track. If you go the f104w route with f103 suspension and big tires then it looks more like a later 60's car.
