Racecraft has made some excellent progress on the restoration/preparation of the Luigi Chassis #001.
The motor is out and on its way to Terry Tinney for a freshening. We had concerns that some parts, valve springs, rings, etc., may have suffered fatigue from sitting for 13 years.
Then the car was lifted on a hoist and the Group 5 fenders were removed.
While these were being removed we discovered some of the original black paint from the 1976 Castrol livery.
In other places we found all the past liveries represented. Here you can see the red it was before 1995, the blue and white it ran in the 80's, and even some of the red and green from the Castrol stripes.
