-work the camber
-strip and polish shocks (although I'm liking the blue ones!!!)

-Spur and throw in some electronics to take down to the track to play
-decide on installing a wing or keeping wingless

Re: American Racing Conversion Sprint Car
Reseal sprint cars have wings
I watched Rich Vogler die on live TV in a wingless sprint car and haven't ever wanted to watch wingless again. Probably wouldn't have helped him much but that wing absorbs so much of the energy, you typically don't have to worry about the driver living to see the next race. (Unless they get out of their car )
Just my opinion

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: American Racing Conversion Sprint Car
Thanks, for some reason there must be something up with the early pics. Maybe FB did an update. Here's some before and after pics for anyone that can't see the beginning pics. I'll fix them someday.

Re: American Racing Conversion Sprint Car
Looking good, very nice work bringing her back.
Now as other guys have mentioned it would be really cool to find some metal tubing to make intake stacks to fill those dimples
