Interesting...can you give a brief explanation of specs for the car? Engine/wheels/tires/etc. I hope to scale mine Sunday.

It is what I would call a 'fully equipped' clone, meaning that it has a back seat, front and rear bumpers (with a fiberglass mini-R-model valance), etc. It has a 289/302 (it's a '68 302 block with 289 heads, and I don't know the actual displacment) with an aluminum intake. Weight-adders include small roll bar, '66 underrider traction bars, Versailles rear end (yuk!), standard Shelby export brace and shock brace, etc. It has 15x7 Torque Thrust "D" wheels with 225/60 tires. Nothing particularly unusual, in other words. YMMV, but probably not by much. Mike
