well here is edinger

Post by hugger19 »

well um kinda. the nose/shocks/motor plate look all early gold, BUT the main chassis is an A stamp and looks to be later and not the orginal since it doesnt match the same gold color :(. on the good side all else looks to be orginal for the most part as u can tell some mods have been made over the years so i need to go through the whole car and do the usual parts swap. it's cool in the books in the pic they show the orginal goodyear tires!updated pics to come soon.

See now that's the kind of RC10 I'd put a Bolink Funco body on. ;) Or are you planning to restore it as a box stock car?

well, i would say you got most of it, and probably most of the hard parts to find, so it's still a good buy. I suppose it will be a little tricky to wait on an early chassis, but any way you slice it, you are more than halfway there :D

I like it a lot. Lots of character as it is, just clean it up real good. If that car could talk, I bet it would have some good stories.

couple updated pics, still waiting on some more parts. well since it wasnt the "NO STAMP" car i was hoping for i think iam going to make this one a slight box art car since the chassis is wrong anyway, and i do have 2 early edinger cars already that are all correct.

well here it is all done. quick rundown. since it wasnt the no stamp i hoped for and the chassis was later/different color gold than the nose and motor plate i decieded to make a box art since it had all the other orginal early parts on the car. i replaced the wheels/tires,couple screws and front arms and didnt clean a thing left as is dirty for a more orginal box art look. it came out just how i hoped i didnt go over the top box art like filling in the holes in the motor plate and notching the rear shock tower. the only item i will change are the rear wheel nuts to the wing nut style once they come in the mail.
