Re: FOUND - McLaren F1 Replica!!!!!

As a Replica builder of some 25 years the pleasure is not only in the finished article but a great deal of the plesure is in the thought process and the actual build, overcoming problems etc. The Maclaren is indeed a difficult propoaition to replicate but not impossible as I had a 95% detailed design worked out before deciding the risk was not worth it. Still enjoyed the process of mentally dismantling the car and working out why things had been done a certain way. The nail in the coffin appart from the risk of a huge law suit was sourcing the windscreen, a powerfull enough engine and the correct wheels. Everything else is doable.
