Well, I got'em, but...

I'm going to phone a couple different powder coating companies and see if anyone has a blue job to do.

Any other colours I should consider? I was thinking white or red, but I think blue would be best.

Doesn't look like I can find anyone else to add the chassis to another batch. There are flat rates at all the other places and not cheap rates either $75-$100.

My options are to wait, or go with another colour.

I finally got the chassis back... flat black, but with the sanded edges it looks sweet!

All that's left is to get the rear hub bearings, and then finished! :D

Love the way this one turned out, I'm very happy!

Nicely done man.
How much did you cut down the sides on the chassis?

If you measure from the top to the bottom on the outside it's 15mm

This build is up for grabs now. I will soon post it in the BST section. I will trade for a B2, B3, B5M or SC10 4x4 depending on conditions.

Here are some photos

Looks great Anthony, I like the way the balck and white plastic parts look together, it's a nice mix. 8)

This guy found a new home...a guy on RC10 Vintage BST on FB is now :D

Not sure if he's on this forum, but he seemed very appreciative, which helps.
