New towers just for scr8p... :lol: Unless an RPM rear tower falls into my lap, the Associated will do just fine.

Very very tasty :)

Any special treatment to the RPM plastics to make them shiny white???

Thanks!

Thanks Paul! Just new parts that are still good and white. Hard to say what time will do to them though. Seems I've heard that some of the original RPM white chassis cars and parts turned yellow/green with time?

Ok, Thanks :) Yes, most of the rpm parts I have have yellowed with time, like AE's nylon... except RPM plastics don't like Peroxyde, they turn pale green...

I keep looking at this car again and again... it really looks the business, just with the right amount of shine, refined and not gaudy. :) Very nice work!

Had a little time today to try and match up a body to the build. Not exactly what I had planned, but had to use it somewhere! Finally snagged a new RPM trans brace.

No love for the 80's 'hittin' the switches' look? :lol:

That is the difference between the 10T towers in older pics vs the RPM front and CE rear towers. Been too lazy to take the shocks apart yet. :mrgreen:
