Rebuilding a B3 (A series of builds by rcpelle)

Hi all I am new at the forum, but not new to the hobby. I started racing in 1987 and ended up racing seriously up until 2008 where I stopped - more than 20 years. The last years I only raced touring car and my last off road race was in 2002. I raced with my dad and he began to not be able to come to...

Re: Rebuilding a B3

For the body I am going for a retro version of my current scheme.

And the B74 is how my "modern" scheme looks.

Re: Rebuilding a B3

Your paint work looks amazing. Do you use liquid mask? Thanks, I used to paint for a lot of people but it takes too long for my current life :) For this body and when I have the time, I draw on the body - transfer to tape - scan the tape - clean up on the computer and print on a vinyl cutter and th...

Rebuilding a B2 (A series of builds by rcpelle)

So as posted in my B3 build thread, I have decided to do a few more builds. This one is about building a B2 in 1996 style - the year I started driving for Team Associated after approaching Gene Hustings at the 1996 Florida Winter Champs. I am using as many original parts from back then as I can. I a...

Re: Rebuilding a B2 (A series of builds by rcpelle)
