This is my 2016 Chris Van Air rc10t reproduction. This is based off the rc10t that won a nonvintage race in 2016 at Hot Rod Hobbies. Chris was kind enough to help me nail all the details and Jeremy from ‘off the grid ‘ rc paint made me an exact copy of the design he did for Chris.

Here is the original story on the truck and the race.

My build thread is here, but I haven’t updated it in a while.

The thread is long and basically I did everything on the car at least twice as I got it closer and closer to a clone from a tribute.

Did those come with the drag-link steering? Or did you make it?

I know my California Sport Truck has conventional steering and some of the other Parma cars had front mounted steering.

[Diamond Dave]

It is the front mounted steering on the chassis, the pic will help.

Interesting lead group in the votes, 3 very different contenders. One of them got my vote.

I voted for the 33' Ford because you don't see the Parma Good Times cars often. Also, a Parma California Sport Truck (similar chassis) was my second hobby grade car.

I really like the Coupe, but I urge folks to check out the build thread on that Schuey before voting. There is a lot more there than meets the eye.

If I can't see it, is it really there? That is an excellent Cat!
