OST-047: Skippy Replicate

[oldeskewltoy]

Remember Skippy?? http://www.aeu86.org/forum/Thread-OST-03...ets-a-head

A quick refresher, I bought/built Skippy(FX16) to be a commuter. When I bought her the engine was junk, and I did a rebuild with the express purpose to maximize the engines torque curve in an effort to maximize fuel economy by having more power in the mid range to allow a shallower throttle angle while on the highway.......



Well, I ended up not needing the commuter and I put her up for sale. It took a while ($3500 FX16 typically does), but I sold her to 2 people..... One person bought her for her engine.... the other bought her because her chassis was in very good shape. Well, the chassis purchaser doesn't want to give up Skippy's engine! Meanwhile the engine purchaser wants his engine!

The engine purchaser will be using the original Skippy 4AGE for rally purposes....




Sooo... I've been commissioned to replicate Skippy's head..... so the chassis purchaser can also enjoy a FAT torque curve





more to come.....
