'63 Galaxie wagon crew-car

Hello

I wished to share with you my latest build : an R&R 1963 Galaxie wagon, that I turned into a drag racing crew-car.

I sanded & cleaned the body, then primered & painted it using touch-up spray cans. After that, it was sanded/polished & bare-metal foiled. Since the kit didn't come with wheels, I used some Cragar S/S that a friend gave me. I used various parts to make the interior living (spare slicks, road map, tools...). The body was then decorated using sponsor decals & left-over "Stark Hickey" decals from a previous project. It is a perfect companion to my AWB Mustang that I built a few years ago.

Five ways to improve F1

In an interview in the Times, former world champion Emerson Fittipaldi’s outlined his five-point plan to enhance Formula One. Cut costs “They spend a fortune in wind-tunnel testing alone. Reduce costs and the slowest teams would catch up and make it more even.” Limit downforce “They need to reduce enormously the downforce in the cars, the only way to bring back overtaking. We need more mechanical grip so that you have longer braking areas, can set up the car coming out of a corner, get in the slipstream and then overtake.” Close the pitlane “When the safety car goes out they should close the pitlane. Now it’s just a lottery.” Lift ban on team orders “It is a very stupid rule. It’s why they are called teams, it’s why they have two cars. If a driver is leading in the championship, everything has to go in his favour. What is wrong with that? It’s so easy for teams to camouflage their orders anyway. All they need to do is tell one guy on the radio he has a problem with his brakes. They can bend the rules very easily. In the old days they would even swap cars, so why do we have this ban now?” Retain traditional grands prix “These places are the soul of racing. The Americas are under-represented. We have Canada back, but there is no USA, no Argentina, no Mexico. We need to stay in the heartlands.”
