RC12E Diorama

[treehugger]

He painted a lot of custom bodies, did a great job with USA flags and candy apple red paint. I think one of his waving flag paint jobs is on one of Associated's gas kit boxes.

Where on earth did you find a Chuck August painted body??? Chuck was one of the fast guys when I started racing in 1978. What a character! He wore a rebel hat most of the time, announced/organized races, and was a member of the infamous "Barbary Coast Sweats" racing team. He painted a lot of custom bodies, did a great job with USA flags and candy apple red paint. I think one of his waving flag paint jobs is on one of Associated's gas kit boxes.

Didn't the weight saver 12E car come with a fiberglass radio tray?

Yeah the full weight saver had the fiberglass tray i believe this is the early version. I found some pics of your old car with this style i think i have a idea how it supposed to go As far as the Chuck august bodies i found a lady with a bunch of stuff and did a little sweet talking. I have 4 bodies total and a wing and about 20 driver figures i will have to post up the pics. She said she was about to throw away most the stuff
