Ah yes, that is where I remember seeing now. It's been awhile. Thanks. I have been going through my stuff and forgot all about it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the early Edinger kits come with a drive gear pivot that was held in with a clip instead of a nut? I have this one in my collection and I am pretty sure that is it. Check out the pics.

I like the sound of that! I need to get my '75 911 from my parents house and start driving the crap out of it!

This project definitely reminds me a vw rail buggy in full scale though. I like it!

Oh ok, well I looked again to see if I can find the ones I saw but they must be gone already. I have a set of Duratrax wheels that I removed the anno from myself and polished up. Not too bad of a wheel being that I believe they were the cheaper of the aluminum wheels from bitd.

When removing old solder, why not get a solder sucker? This is a large marker size device that uses vaccuum to remove melted solder.

I noticed but didn't know anyone made them chrome. I was thinking, this guy must be really dedicated to sit and polish all those e-clips.

Yeah I just spent some time degreasing a 6 gear yesterday. Sometimes they are pretty nasty.

The gears don't need grease.

I thought about making all of the edges of the frame and nosepiece bare aluminum(silver) also.

Yes, do that!
