Default Help me identify this plane!

I just bought this plane and I have no idea what plane this is.
Here are some of the specs:
Wing span is about 50"
fuselage is about 49" for front of cowl to trailing edge of rudder.

Thanks

It is a modified Rivets Formula One racer, I think it was call a Thunderchicken, but that's a 20~30year old memory.

My Dad used to race Formula one on the east coast. Your plane looks like the "Ms Dara" we used to fly. He still has two in the basement. I'll look next time I'm there.

Looks like a recovered Tequilla Sunrise that was on the market a couple of years ago, don't remember who made it though.
