I was texting back and forth with Brad this past Thursday morning. I mentioned that I was planning on taking the replica along for the concourse at the Vonats but that I wish I had the missing stickers to complete it. So he dug deep through his stash and managed to come up with what I was missing an...

This one will take a little while since I'm lacking quite a lot of parts. Starting off with a bunch of parts I have left from all of these rere kits I've been throwing together. So this one is going to be a modernized replica of Masami's car that he ran at the '93 worlds. It's actually the same car ...

Haha, yeah. I tried to mimic the ones in the original.

And here's the body for it. He'll get it at the track.

I've had a single olive drab AE spring forever waiting to find it's mate. I didn't go to the track today, so I ended up doing some clean-up on and around my main workbench. Looking through boxes i haven't opened in awhile, putting stuff that's been sitting out into boxes ...... stuff like that. Well...

Alright, the brace is done. It's wider than the stock T2 motor guard, but I tried to mimic the shape. and added a few slots too.

I don't get to mess around with trucks all that often. But awhile back I was asked if I'd be interested in restoring 3-4 GT's. So the stuff was sent my way and we were off. One was a partially assembled, later, all black GT. IMG_20171002_194543586.jpg The others were just bags of parts as well. Here...

No, not really. I have a lot of other things going on right now so it's not anywhere near the top of my "to do" list. But, I would like have the issues with the prototype parts figured out and have chassis kits for sale by the end of the year. We'll see if it happens though...

It looks like shims on that axle. Probably just the stock 6220 axle.

The majority of the A stamps had the 1st series of rear bulkhead that would not allow the forward placement of the rear arm mount (unless you notched the bulkhead yourself). After the change to the 2nd series bulkhead which allowed the forward placement, the tub was clearanced in those corners. So, ...

Looking good!

I don't know everything, but I do have a fairly decent database between the ears.

Thread update! :mrgreen: The E-gt is now done, just in time for the Vonats. This was a collaboration between Jason Ruona and myself... coming up with a plan for leftover parts after a string of GT restorations. Here's a little rundown: Chassis reano'd blue JC Hi-Flow T5m body (modern twist on an old...

Little update.

I finally got tires and wheels for this thing so it's ready to go. Swapped the Futaba out for a Savox digital servo, and also cut the under tray cut out and installed. I was hoping to get to the track today but it didn't work out. Maybe next weekend if it rains (supposed to go to a car show on Sunda...
