Replica Ace
« on: July 24, 2014, 10:57:20 »
Hi Ace people can you help me , I would like to build a replica Ace Ford engined straight 6 powerd Ace replica , as the real one is out of my reach . It all started with a ford Zodiac engine Mk3 I bought with a damaged Raymond Mays head and three Webers  , all cracked welded and to much skimmed off over the years .Im making a new head, as my hobby is prototype engineering. And due to my time in the rapid prototyping and Cnc branch I am able to remake almost anything .So back to the important bit who can I buy a replica car or kit from ? That's as near to original as possible ? Hope you can help Harry

Hi, I've got an Ace replica, based on a Hawk chassis & body that I've re-engineered over several years. It was on the ACOC stand at last year's NEC car show. Pictures of the car are on the site under a NEC search. Maybe my background in this area that might help in your endeavours. Contact me if needed; details have been eMailed to you.
