Greetings Triumphal Ones, This seems the most straightforward approach to build that "Triumph that shoulda been". One day I'd like to make one. The steps involved are well known and documented except

Oh, yeah, almost forgot that one! ;-) You're right. the radius arms mount further in with the Roto-flex rear end. Some later Spitfire bodies have the holes already in place, but one needs to use the

I have to ask. With all the talk of putting a GT6 engine in a Spitfire, tub swapping, etc., has anyone simply chopped the top off a GT6? Gas tank relocation and trunk lid support construction would b
