Maybe I should add that I have also not painted my Turbo Optima yet

TOTP!!!

I can only figure there are three types, only because there are three different types of rebuild kits that I have come across for the similar .56 shock bodies.

Maybe others can chime in with there tribal knowledge...

Does the belt drive conversion for the original Optima use the same diffs as the Optima Mid?

Last post

So after a bit of thinking, and because I want to make this a little bit different, I think I'm going to build myself a Salute.

What I have:
- Optima rear gear box
- Optima motor plate
- Mid diffs - will need to check whether I have both front and...

This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).

Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape....

Last post

The build thread still lives on here

I referred to it many times during my ongoing Turbo Optima Mid SE thread.

Thanks for hosting all of that! It is such a bummer when images go away and I appreciate you archiving posts like this.

Do any of you have suggestions for a body for my Turbo Optima other than the stock T.O. body, which I don't really care for? I *love* the original Optima body but it's too narrow to fit an 8.4V 7-cell battery. Have any of you tried other bodies and...
