Re: Turbo Optima mid SE

One man's failure is another man's victory. To my eye, ALL of the ano work you've done on this car looks spectacular!

I can imagine this car displayed in an art gallery. It's incredibly beautiful. :D

Re: Create a Porsche 934 replica in 4 steps

Thanks Chuck! Back in the day, I designed and built a rear motor, straight axle, pan car for oval racing - I wanted to try something different. It featured a 4-link rear suspension and beam front axle arrangement. I spent weeks building it and raced it one time. I really didn't like the handling so ...

Re: Turbo Optima mid SE

Yeah, I agree with Derek. Those Platinums look great as they are.
However, it's your car so build it your way. You'll never receive a thumbs down from me. You might even want to blue ano the shock bodies. :wink:

Posting up my RC10 mid motor conversion from Tekin, with the active camber link activated. In addition it is also sporting a Schumacher SACS (active caster) front suspension kit made for RC10.

JOSH STRAUSS TRIBUTE BUILD. This is a tribute build to a old friend of mine, Derek, and also Thumb's best friend growing up. (He won't speak to any of us now, he is a rich judge and lawyer) He was a rich kid and had this car prepared like you see here back in 1989. We all wanted it so bad but had no...

Re: Clonewald GFG-10

I need to get some wing buttons and bend a wire, but otherwise this one is done. The MCI decal set is pretty nice and definitely was the finishing touch I needed.
