Noticing on the body no recess for the fuel cap as you see in the body next to yours; are you planning the fuel tank filler just behind the seats like the Comp 289 did? you'll need a wind-screen for that too!

I can't wait to see your progress... but I'm NEVER going to give up my screen name!!!

Herman,

The body next to mine with the recess for the filler cap, is for a 427 car. As you mentioned, on the FIA car, the fuel fuller is up high between the trunk opening and the back of the passenger seat. The fuel tank sits up, right behind the seats. The comp cars even had a splash guard to keep fuel from sloshing into the passenger area.

I agree ... you gotta keep your screen name ...
