I've got an idea that Admin may be able to comment on. What would be the chances of doing a model of some of our uniquely Australian macinery?
Vehicles such as: A 1955 Chev sedan, currently under construction, being fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine, originally fitted to Spitfire aeroplanes! Just finished being painted to resemble an aeroplane on the outside- five months for the paint job alone! Being built by Rod Hadfield, Castlemaine, currrently undergoing final construction. This will be the most unique vehicle ever constructed in this country.
Plans are to take it to the states and knock their socks off. Imagine what the reaction will be once they sight this thing
Anyway waiting comment.

This sort of conversion has been done before .
In England a Rols Royce had a Merlin engine fitted and also was made into a stationwagen! It was painted yellow and let loose on the Autobahn in Germany where it hauled ass. and a lot of complaining from supercarowners who had their doors blown off by this monster. Rolls Royce was asked by the Germany authoroties to stop testing ,but it weas not Rolls Royce ! it was a private individual who blew all other supercars into oblivion!
there are pictures and stories regarding around. :D
