And now i got to start rebuilding them. They are in very good shape one is not build yet so that's easy,
No 2 is a racer and need a little help. I might try that car on Vintage Nationals in September if they let me in.

Re: Turbo Optima Mid Special
Thanks Rod ! Finished the Chassis tonight ! I really wonder why there are so few racer/track pics of it in old magazines etc... it was at least quite popular in europe.slotcarrod wrote:This is very cool, brings back some good memories! Enjoy the build, and I love the paint job!

Lower belt cover.
The ugly: 20+ year old dust seals for the rear gearbox... the sponge vanished quite a bit![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Rear dust seal attached. Somehow
And gaps filled with thread lock.

Rear A-arms attached.
Steering posts, belt cover brace and rear chassis gate.
Battery mount posts attached. Let's stick with saddle packs for now, sticks were seriously uncool back in the days![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
