Seeing as I sort of started this with the LC and now NOS and I are right into it for the L34s, there appears to be a flurry of extras coming on line. This great, so I want to know who is doing what?..Post a pic of the race car you are replicating.

Blues Union? is that a jeans company? as that car reminds me of when I was a kid living in the same street as a BOB Jane Dealership in Fairfield Vic. He had a huge pair of jeans (bigger than human size) on display outside the yard and it was a competition to guess how many stitches there were in the jeans. Does anybody remember that???
I often used to walk over and have a look in the showroom and they used to have a few sports cars in there.. cant remember which make... I was to young.. and sorry no photos ... But I do remember seeing Bob Jane racing on TV and that it was his yard near my house... this would have been in the late 60's, maybe early 70's??

ummm bot...I am still undecided as to what Race replica I might do.. if at all...as I am still thinking about doing one of my own design...Welby's (photoshop) white, orange and green hatch has certainly given me some idea's..... :huh: how good does that look!!

If I was to do one with the spare shell it would be the Gricey Craven Mild hatch.
