this car won't fit in the light box for pics except that straight down shot...all i have to finish is painting the driver and some dubro collars for the linkages and wait on the aluminum wheels so i will get some better shots oustside when the sun comes back out hopefully Friday...
Thumbs coming down Saturday to check it out, drink beer, watch Friday the 13th movies (1 thru 7 only) and talk vintage rc🍻

It is truly gorgeous. Looks more 70's than 80's. I'm shocked at how cool it is. Seriously.

I just looked back thru here and these pics suck. You need to get some that do it justice.

Here is one pic I have that at least shows its size. It's a every bit 8th scale, especially for the 80s.

I know you run all of them a little at least, but this is one that I wouldn't start personally. Not for value necessarily, but if it turns out to be a turd I'd be devastated.

Looks awesome! You need to take it outside and get some decent pics in good light. I know you refuse to be in a room with more than 40 watts of light, but the rest of us would like to actually be able to see it... :lol:
