I guess, if you need ANOTHER blue JG..... lol...... always happens I guess, find one, find lots.

Well, that was weird.... 24 lots of JG parts, 20 with stickers.... and only ONE dark blue JG decal!!!!! Oh well, the parts at least are nice.... might have to put up a thread for them....

Ruffy, you have PM coming.

well, it looks as if i have to restart my search for that f#&kin' decal. looks like the package was lost in the mail. i had a tracking number an everything, but it never updated on the usps site. like it was never scanned into the system. but it would seem to me that his p.o. dropped the ball. he said he knows he shipped it, and i have no reason to not believe him, with his feedback rating, and the fact that it looks like everything else he sold around the same time, everyone received their item. the seller was cool and refunded my money, so i'm not out anything............... except the damn decal. :roll:

who knows, if it's out there somewhere, it just might show up one day...........

You guys do realize that I put that JG decal TWICE on the replica Halsey decal sheets that I did... you get one for the bumper and a spare, too. ;)

ya i know. but, i just can't justify buying an entire decal sheet for just the one decal. but i'd drop $17 on parts that i didn't need just to have the decal that was in the package. :lol:

also, if the guys that bought one of your sheets were willing to offer up their "spare", ruffy would've had one last year when he asked. :wink:

I might be wrong, but it'd also be cheaper and WAY easier. Or you can wait to find a Composite Craft front shock tower on eBay. I've seen a couple here and there (found one for myself, actually).

Oh, and the graphite Chad uses is woven carbon the last time I checked. Won't look anything like what was around in the 80s.
the only thing that is making me think that it's graphite is the fact that i had the correct shock tower for this replica. if you look in the pic of the car, do you notice how much longer the tower is above the shock? the one i had was exactly like that, and it was a woven graphite. it had 4 upper shock holes, instead of 2. the lower ones were the same as a stock shock tower. it gave you the option of running .71's on the front. the thing about it that makes me mad, i cut it up to make body mounts out of it like 6-7 years ago. i never thought i'd need it, and wasn't into restoring rc10's at the time. the funny thing is, i saved the lower part of it, for some reason. so i was able to send chad a pic of what i needs to look like, plus extending the top on either side. the graphite will look different, but i can live with it. actually, the shock will hide alot of it. here's one of the pics i sent to chad, just so he could get an idea of what i wanted.
well here is mine i found it on ebay orginal rc10 graphite. iam in the process of doing a car also.

halsey used a stock fiberglass tower and dyed it black. i thought it was graphite back when there was only a few small pics to be found (7 years ago). it's not.

the one you have there is from parma (or composite craft i've come to find).

Glad you're finally getting one, mate.... I can't see myself finding another big pile of JG bits again..... and I think most of those in the photo I posted have already left the building!

Look forward to seeing this baby finished.

I've only got a pink and a black in that style decal or I would've helped you out. My LHS owner thinks he's got some JG parts in his storeroom but I haven't been able to coax him into going to look for them. They probably all got those blue decals in the pack. :|
