Grant/Michael Harvey BB/A

Grant, Sandra and Michael have this great 125" wheelbase altered. This photo was taken in January 2000. The chassis was built in 1996 for a customer that changed his mind. Grant purchased the bare chassis from Ken in 1998 and took it to Adelaide for finishing. After a year and a bit Grant brought the car back to us for finishing. The car is actualy just past this stage of the photos and is being picked up ready to bolt an engine in on 18 March 2000. Grant says he should have it going by the Winternationals this year.

New photos and finish photos will be available soon. The body, nose and wing are customer supplied and fitted by KLRC. If you want to see a KLRC body mounted on a car click here
