After years of searching, finally... Edi restore thread soon - stay tuned.

[LowClassCC]

you off someone for them, get a good deal, or pay out the rear? sweet fine in that condition. do you have other parts to start with or are the tires the starting point?

[aeiou]

LOL - no crime involved, but I did get them for a pretty good price. I have everyting I need to get started on the restore now except for one of the fiberglass battery straps. I may make a repro of one to hold me over until I find an original.

[scr8p]

are those brand new?

[a01butal]

I'm sure it will be killer when it's finished. Good luck.

They aren’t NIP, but mighty close - maybe a lap or two at the most. No rot or cracking and still nice and pliable.

I'm sure it will be killer when it's finished. Good luck.

Thanks. Most of the parts are on a car I picked up on eBay a while back. The chassis has some extra holes in it (side), but it's in pretty good shape otherwise, as are the rest of the parts. I haven’t opened up the shocks or transmission yet, so I’m hoping they'll have the early “innards” as well. Once I get all the parts broken down, I'll start up the build thread.

Here are a couple of the eBay pics of the car:

Has someone been listening/watching Ren and Stimpy?

[karnivool]

love ren and stimpy super funny/crazy

[Drusky]

Lovely, I've been wondering if it isn't possible to make a silicon mould of these tires and then cast some copies out of a two pack rubber resin.
