    For ZRX61

    The PR Spit:

    Thanks 🙂 That Spit has my signature hidden away all over it, inside the rudder, tail, ailerons, flaps, wings etc
    AND it still has PA908 painted on the firewall.. 🙂

    Also, Jay Leno (a chat show host to our international friends) has a Merlin powered older Rolls Royce chassis…now a two seat roadster.

    ’34 Rolls, mate of mine did the re-body for him.

    I wanna see that when you’re done!! 🙂 Where do you put the invasion stripes on a Ranchero?!

    Same place as that ’55 Chevy, The rear wheel arches are 30inches so easy to measure out. The checkers on the nose will be 4.125in sq on the hood, er, bonnet & a tad wider where they go over the edge of the fenders. The hood is from a GT so it has a scoop thats angles like the Sgt’s stripes, the line of checkers will follow that angle over the side so they go about halfway back to the middle of the front wheel arches. The hood will be OD behind the scoop & the scoop itself is already flat black.
    Something about the shape of a ’70 Ranchero that just lends itself to that paint job.
    Did think about a Spit design, but it wouldn’t look “right”…. I think those old Ford P100’s would possibly work with a Hurricane paint job…or Tiffy? Guy at Van Nuys airport has a shark mouth on his Honda S200 (or whatever the hell those little 2 seaters are called)

    Would the CAA alow such things to be used???
    Interesting article in the last Warbirds Digest though.

    Yeah, saw that article. The parts are FAA approved so should be legal on US reg’d planes in the UK?
    On a related note, a mate of mine has the *other* Roush Mustang… an ’05 Ford V8 🙂

    I was 8yo & on vacation at my grandparents in Walton on Naze. Sat on breakwater one day doing spot of crabbing & some bloke walks over & starts talking to me about what i’m doing. Eagle eye mother on beach gets a bit concerned & comes to see whats going on. They get chatting & then he introduced himself at Guy Hamilton…

    Did you never see the film about the restoration of this aircraft (amongst others). It might put you off! Its cheap, as it needs a LOT of work!

    Not the one that idiot built in Canada & then couldn’t get it out of the barn because the door was too narrow?
