Any port in a storm, chief.

Now, who makes orangish gold tape...?



I was initially on the receiving end of the 'lectric tape "repair" a long time ago, I did not pioneer the technique...

Back to the CE chassis subject...

Here's a late six-gear:

Notice it also has black plastic shock caps and a four on a side front tower. Seller claims B over A chassis. Can't tell about the motor plate. Last of the six gears there for sure...

i'm gonna try to refrain from starting on this until i have everything i need to finish it. but, i doubt it will happen. i just can't help it.

told ya......................

[JK Racing]

that is a thing of beauty...what are your plans on finishing it?

[scr8p]

i'll just double post this. i'm too lazy to type.

well, one nice thing about this is the main chassis/suspension stuff is figured out already. it's just a matter of which shocks, trans, and tire/rim combo you want to go with. this one, like my other andy's molded chassis w/ the standard kick-up, i'm gonna use the mip shock bodies. the thing that sucks is now i need 8 black aluminum shock caps instead of 4. it'll most likely have a stock 6 gear trans, too, since i don't have any more mip's. and i don't want to drill the chassis for a stealth. i'll use the trailing arm setup on it, also, with the tall rear tower. on the front, i'm going to use a tall molded andy's tower i have instead of the one that came with the kit. that way, i can use the 1.02 shocks on the front. i like the tall shocks on the front.

but, neither of the andy's molded cars i have will be done until i can get those shock caps. if i have to, i'll strip an polish some blue ft caps. but, i only want to build them once.

i read that...where is my head today, damn time change.

i read that...where is my head today, damn time change.

since i'll end up using the 6 gear trans, i'd like to put the thorp 48p coversion in it, but i still need the 2 small topshaft gears for the diff. i'm also pretty much giving up on finding 8 black aluminum shock caps for this car and the other one. hell, i can't even find one. i'll just polish up some blue ft caps and be done with it. i like the way the shocks look on my A&L, so i'll just go that route.

That looks great J, glad I could have been of help. I can not wait to see how it works out. I have a TPS chain tranny that might look good on there!

hmm................... is it all brand new, or near perfect?

[scr8p]

i'm also building a pro graphite version of this same car, too. this one will use .71's in the front, though. and since the andy's steering racks are so hard to find, i drilled and countersunk new holes for a standard bell crank, as well as the holes for a stealth trans.

Did this ever get finished? I see USPS Priority tape on the box. Did the seller just slap a shipping label on the box and send it?

[scr8p]

It was sold with all of my other Andy's builds back in 2008 when all my health crap started. Never finished it.

It was shipped to me in a separate box. But it had changed hands a few time, and the address labels stuck to the back of the kit box. Like 3... 1 on top of another, and apparently shipped priority at least once.
