Another celebration tribute car OR "it's not a damn Beagle"

Post by GoMachV »

Just another celebration tribute car, I know there are some things gold that shouldn't be, and it has new shoes even tho they aren't the "correct" tires, but it should be a fun build and I may open up a few "hop up" bags as i go :mrgreen:

I didn't get a lot done, had to concentrate on the front as I'm waiting for a Robinson 5mm pinion :lol:
Also the chassis has been drilled out to 4-40. That wouldn't do so I tapped it 3mm. Socket head screws for now, will find proper ones after the mock up

I think I'm going to need a chain too. After taking out the bad link, I found another. And then another. Grrrr

Anyway, here's the nose :mrgreen:

Too bad you didn't know about the chain when I sent you those other parts, I have a few spare chains; I could've included one with the other stuff. :)

Uh oh. Sorry; I didn't realize that chain was that bad. I still have that Rocky chain if you want it back...

I played with it more and it may be ok...once I get that gear I can start on the back and see where we are at.

No prob on the chain, I appreciate you giving it to me. It's 98% fine!

Markbt73 your alternative hard pinion works great! And only $10 :mrgreen:
Here she is, gotta swap out some screws but pretty much as she will remain. The nerf bars need screws too so they also have not been attached.
