This will be pretty cool.

I will look past the disturbing purple collars though. Signed, a Clipper fan.

Clippers, who? :lol: :mrgreen:

Just had to get a small portion together to see if I have just enough gold bits to look right. So far so good. The front bulkhead and front C hubs have delrin inserts in them to make fitment real nice.

Very stylish indeed - the gold looks great - can't wait to see it done!

What about the body? Will you continue with the black/gold theme???

No time the last couple of weeks until a few hours to tinker tonight. Replaced the hinge pins, ball studs, front axles, and all the hardware with the Lunsford Ti parts. Slowly getting there... :) Poor quick pics though.

Looks great, too bad there is no way to bleach the black nylon bits white, maybe stamp out a nice gold stamped pan chassis in gold lol
