These are all amazing builds - but I have a few questions: 1. Where do you get the battery posts (newer ones)? 2. Are there any advantages to the newer shock towers and long shocks in the front? 3. Where can you get the rear CVD's / hubs and front blocks etc? 4. What spur / pinion gears is everyone...

Now if I could just find some around here..

WTF? Will it work? I was thinking of using the turtle wax red colored wax.

Car was stripped down last night and all white parts put into the "solution" for cleaning. I found that a mixture of greased lightning, simple green (lemon) and CLR strips all the dirt and grease off the parts with minimal brushing, and sometimes the parts don't even need the peroxide trea...

so it is all stripped down, and the chassis could use a little loving. Anyone ever try dying a Hot Trick chassis? Not to change the color, but to get the red color back and more full?

Chassis an bulkhead design dropped off at New Era this morning. Got washers and nuts in today. They are purple. Still waiting on the parts car to come in....

that's threaded pipe. I'm not entirely sure that would work. However, I have an alternate route I can use,, just don't want to have to go that way.

Just for the record, green seems to be one of the least common colors for turnbuckles...I know from experience from my own searches. :? Yeah, they are out there, GPM makes th...

Parts are starting to roll in. Tomorrow going to see Frankie at New Era for some work. I think I am the reason they stay afloat sometime (I'm sure that's not true). There will be 2 modified/fabbed pieces to this build: 1. Chassis 2. Front bulkhead Front bulkhead?! That's right. Because I am "ol...
