Re: Progress On My BBT Sprintcar

I want to buy the rest of the running gear and get that stuff sorted out because I don't have a whole l...

Re: Progress On My BBT Sprintcar

Here are some updated photos of my spinter all decaled. I was very pleased when I opened up the envelope to find the decals were infact orange. They worked out perfectly. Let me know what you think. Next things to get done is getting the electronics to get it up and running.

Re: Progress On My BBT Sprintcar
