That looks like a really neat job!

Was the motor pod easy to fit? And how does it run?

[FootScoot]

It was an easy fit to the chassis, just minor trimming of the pod on one side was required. I set it up in my chassis jig set to the correct wheelbase. I don't know how it will run as I don't have a track. :)

Oh! That IS cool! Nice work, it looks like it's been there all along!

Nope, no track, yet. I'm working on getting something setup. Maybe later this year. :)

I have the gold street car from that series, and a few years ago, I tried to get it going. Short of doing a pod drive, I never was happy with it. I may try it. I have a couple of unused Fly pods laying around that were leftovers from Fly Fastkits. Great idea, Ken!

Jaguar before Ford screwed them up. A stunning design worthy of the Jaguar name. The new F-type, whether Ford or TATA's fiasco, is just ugly.

Nice work on the update. I bet it runs great now.

I have done a couple of similar podectomies on a pair of Fly Capri's with great results. I like them better than the Racer Capri that I also have. You did a great job on that conversion Sir. I think that you will like the results once you get it on a track.

Thanks for kind words all. Yes this car has great styling compared to the new ones. Long , low and swoopy a Jaguar trait. Looks like it's ready to pounce. :)

That is the car, if I am not mistaken, that they set up several identical units and ran a series like the IROC races where they invited top drivers from various racing disciplines to participate. I forget now who ended up winning the series. I always thought it was a great looking car. Great job Footscoot.

Thanks Bob. :)
