Yep.
Waiting for the decals before taking it out to shoot pics for auction. You are welcome to meet me at the photo shoot. Should be this upcoming weekend, holding off on picking the day until later in the week.

Yes, this 951 will be up for auction shortly.

I will also release a proper name for the design, many pictures, a website, and social media jazz in the not to distant future.

The fender gaps look a lot bigger on this car compared to the red car. Is that a wheel offset/size issue, a ride height issue or did you change the molds?

How much wider are the wheelbases and how does this affect handling?

No change to the molds, the picture was taken as soon as the tires hit the ground. The suspension is not settled.

I have not pulled numbers on the track of the wider stance. Nor have I done a side by side comparison of a stock vs. widebody on the track. Based on my solo experience I can say: wider= more rubber=faster

For those that would like to see the car in person, I'm still up in the air on my weekend schedule. I think a better idea is to wait until after the design is officially released, more are bound to want to see it in person. Something will be planned in the next week or two. The group of you can visit my garage and see the new racer as well.
