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.

Hi chris, yes i must admit the engine is almost in the cockpit with you, no need for a heater in the python, but being under 6 foot is almost a necessity! this was one of the reasons i went for the python, aswell as the suspension setup. not sure about which chassis was first but mine ends with 001, so i thought it maybe no. one, could be wrong though. Just wondering if you where at shelbyfest @ winton? and if you where, your car, if its the silver python was one of the final reasons i decided on a python.
