Over time all the kit manufacturers have tweeked their moulds and body shapes. They have all now evolved into their own interpretations of the original.

Re: the DAX - who knows? mine is an 01/85 body, and the build was started in WA, so maybe it IS the DAX that the original G-Force was flopped off (would explain why David's G-Force and my DAX are d@mned near identical).

There have been comments (on another, unnamed forum) that the original DAX was flopped off CSX31?? (can't remember, but it was a roadster, not an S/C), but who really knows? I contacted DJ Sportcars and they cannot provide me with any info about a twenty year old chassis and body, since they have made so many changes (no original construction manuals or engineering info - they didn't start making their own chassis' till mid '85).

I think they all look great ....
