I built this Thames over a 3 year period and it was a labor of love more than anything. After ironing out the usual bugs of a new build she has become very constant and runs straight as an arrow and I believe she has a lot more power in her as I haven’t even got to start to fine tune her yet. We ran SHRA this year and ended the year in 8th place in a class of 32 cars (and we missed 2 races) not to shabby for the first year out
I have a lot of build pics and video I will copy and pass on with the car
She runs:
10.83 @ 119.68 mph in the ¼
6.20 @ 100 mph in the 1/8th
I have the time slips (or pics) I think.
Looking for offers in the region of $15000.00
call Andy 210 872 0637
pics on request as I cannot get them to load
