Am building with all sorts of "experiments". Front end is vintage Andy's RC wide track arms, modified RB6 uprights and knuckles, big bore shocks. Shock towers are repros of Trinity's "Joel Johnson" units

I have a bunch of spare parts, all vintage, that I had gotten for mine way back when ......

Great Score !! I paid $225 for my Turbo, back in the day ...... Still Have it ....
