Project "1989 Andy's racer tribute"

Post by orangemazda »

I'm starting on a project that I've been meaning to do for a long time. It has some interesting components to it and should turn out pretty cool when its done. This project has evolved into a tribute to my Andy's race car that I raced back in the late 80's. It's a WOIN/Andy's tribute.

Yeah, not too much shorter...it's just a touch longer then the aluminum nose piece being in the "shorty" position. About 3/8 or so shorter then the "long" position.

I still think it will be a nifty little truck when done. I'm thinking of going with a dune buggy type truck with paddle tires and a Bug body...we'll see.

I've decided to go a different direction with this project. Most of this car has given up it's parts to make up my RC10T project. See thread here:

http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=38831

But, I have some new ideas for this project.
