Not a car that would interest me, but the detail in that kit is really quite impressive. Looks like a bit of a horror to build, but you're doing a great job of it Chris. Very nice!

Actually, it’s going together quite well, not a lot of issues, so far 🤞 I will say it’s a type of kit you should give it a try, you might surprise yourself.

Chris, As usual, the interior of the MFH 935 looks like it will be super detailed. The throttle, brake, clutch assembly is a perfect example of that, as is your ability to construct each of those sub assemblies to perfection. Just one question, what is the lever assembly with the two red lines for?

It is possible a crude version of brake bias. I’ll have to look into it

Interesting that it's to adjust the anti sway bars. Since there's only two cables heading towards the front bar, I'm assuming once again that the rear bar can't be adjusting from the pit.

Chris, As usual, just amazing work at such a high level. The details are bringing your build into the realm of is it real, or is it Memorex if you can remember back that far. Sure hope that the Mojo keeps on coming.

Now that’s how a proper pedal assembly should appear!

Your Progress is fabulous, the amount of detail in every area on this model is amazing. I have plans to build this 935/78 which was the J. David car I watched Rolph Stommelen die in at Riverside. I had just been introduced to him by Al Holbert a few hours earlier in the pits with AJ Foyt and Norbert Singer. We had a humorous conversation and then they went to start the race. AJ made BIG fun of his co-driver Mario Andretti ( the only time they ever shared a car, also a 935/78) but AJ found a lot of humor in it. It was a very sad day that I will never forget. I did get a set of J. David decals from Germany and a Transkit from Renaissance in France for this build. Still a curbside in 1/24 scale but a very cool project. I am enjoying following your progress. Paul, Thanks for posting Chris' work. ... Chris

That’s a great story! I sure hope you enjoy your build, as much as I am on this one. I will have to look for it when you start. Thank you for the compliment. It’s always nice to get feedback from my peers, especially positive! Keeps the mojo going!!😁😁😁
