Rebuild |
| In Novemeber 2007 the rebuild of the original Scorcher chassis began. The goal was the have the rolling chassis assembled and on the way to the USA by early January 2008 so we could display the car at the 50th March Meet at Famoso Raceway at Bakersfield California. These pictures show the rebuild step-by-step. |
