Actually gymkhanas used to be an actual form of racing My mom ofall people used to race them in a 65 vette in the late 60's early 70's. She still has the car and after driving it now, all I can say is "holy hell, mom had balls!"

Racer or not still some talent to handle a car like that.
Hopefully that was some Bondo buggy they started with. Shame if it was some virgin piece.
As some comments on the build link stated there is enough repop pieces for as little as they used to take care of what they needed.

Gymkhana...Fancy name!
We used to call it "Dad taking us to school cuz we missed the bus and he has to get back to run the Jobsite."
Among other things....Bill was a wheel-man......

Not to disrespect anyone, but to allude that Block is not an extremely talented driver is ludicrous. His skills may not be at the very top of F1, or NASCAR, or some other forms of racing, but his talent driving a car is incredible.
