    Well... my racing teammate/partner and I met up with Gordy Good, exchanged words and money, and now all this is my garage:

    3x the work and 3x the fun!

    We plan to do a full restoration on all three of them. They'll all be really nice when we're done.

    We plan on selling the mk18 once it's complete. The mk14 and mk15 we'll keep and race with SVRA.

    Default Reassembly

    If you can keep it all this neat and organized when you start reassembly... I will be VERY impressed. Nice job. Will look for update photos.

    Default Mk14

    I have a Mk14. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. They are beautiful cars.

    Might be interested in the MK18.

    That is one heckuva lot of parts!
    I would rather be making racing news than reading it. Living the dream out here in the middle of farm country

    Will for sure keep everybody posted. I'm going to start a separate thread for the rebuilds of each one. Starting with the MK18.

    This evening, it's hardware measurement time!

    Default Alexis Mk 14

    I have a Russell Alexis MK 14. It was Jeff Snooks #41 car. I will be racing it at Mid Ohio in June with the SVRA. I wish you the very best of luck with the builds. They are great cars and quite rare. Anything I can do to help let me know. Jeff kept excellent records and receipts . Cheers Simon

    This kind of response is what got me interested in historic racing in the first place. The camaraderie and support is simply awesome.

    Thanks everyone, I'll keep you all posted.

    And Jeff Snook's car is the one that got me eyeing Alexis.
