Ok so I got the rear bulkhead done today and mounted the shock tower. I plan on dying the rear arms and tranny in a couple days.

There is some thing to do about bright aluminum next to (well any color realy) gold anodizing that is just very aesthetically pleasing. Contrast I guess. Very nice work.

I think Cliff used a yz10 rod end on the inner front camber link.... if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to look at the pics again.

Looks good so far!

Love it! When I built my replica, I came to appreciate all the details it takes to get it right.

Did you have the shock caps hard anodized? That was one part that I had to approximate, olive drab tamiya paint was the closest I could get.

Picked this up ftom fletch the other day. Not exactly sure if it will become anything more than a tear down, clean up and put back together. But we'll see. I like starting out with cars like this to see how nice they are under the dirt. :)...

I realized tonight that I did actually move this build along since the last chassis pics. Turnbuckles and ball cups are on. I also had a pair of AE universals chrome plated and installed. Oh, and the nose tubes.

Gotta be cool for someone like him to be asked to sign an RC car. Ya know, it's not like he was a famous baseball player, and is only known within a small group of RC people. I know it'd be cool for me if someone remembered something I did in the...

Guys, Here's my attempt at building a replica. It seems a lot harder to do then building a custom car because there is no creative freedom, you've got to adhere as closely to the original as possible and the finding of very specific parts.

This Cliff Lett replica is an amazing build and one of my favorites. I can remember starring at the picture of Cliff’s car in RCCA for hours looking for build tips.

Hello,

I now have all the parts need to complete a really good replica of this car, but for the body, I need more different view of it to identify all the stickers...

So, if you could help me, you're welcome !

I am exited to see the project. This car was my favorite of this era. I set my car up as close as possible to this car and it handled great. Make sure you take some good pics and post them up. Good luck, I will look around to see what I can find. :)
