Hi David;
Welcome to the madness. I also have a round tube Python and it was supposedly the second one George built, after his first which was the second of his race cars. I remember picking the rolling kit up and measuring some things off the new race car I wanted to make myself to put in. The round tube Race Car was still being constructed at the time, so this made it easy to get a few ideas.......and George was good enough to let me go over it.
Those chassis pics you put up certainly look very familiar, although there have been numerous modifications to my example at both ends, it does take me back over 10 years now.
I think one of the biggest visible difference to other kits is how far back the engine sits in the bay for better weight distribution.

Enjoy.
Chris L
