Re: TQ10 resto
Supplies!
I'm going to redo the motor plate touchup. The paint pen I used is a bit too flat. I'll experiment with the epoxy to fill in the stealth holes on the chassis if I can get the color dark enough while mixing.
I think these are the correct towers.
And started on assembling the shocks. Dry for now.
I think I have the correct lower spring cups (without the cutout).
Still scrubbing on plastics and will do a peroxide soak if the sun comes out this weekend.

Re: TQ10 resto
Your chassis looks to be the last version. You could build it short or long front arm.

That would also decide which towers and spring cups you would use.

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

Re: TQ10 resto
Thanks for the link!
I'm leaning towards short arm, so I'll go with the full spring cups.

Re: TQ10 resto
The aluminum black is working pretty well. I'll need to hit the edges again, but happy so far. Thanks for the suggestion.
Blued the axles and dogbones also.
Filling the poorly drilled stealth holes with epoxy. I'm definately not a body work pro. A bit of sanding will be required after this cures.

Re: TQ10 resto
Started sanding on the epoxy and it is looking better. I'll have to do another skim coat prior to final sanding and then I'll decide if I need to paint the chassis.
The arms and hinge pins are cleaned up and ready to go.
And I cleaned up a Trinity stock motor to park in the chassis until I find a period correct Reedy or similar.

Re: TQ10 resto
Your efforts are rewarded in a nice and clean build.
Also want to say I would put my vote in for NOT painting the chassis.
Looks very good as is

Re: TQ10 resto
I second that, the holes look great the way they came. Well done. I wouldn’t paint the chassis either

Re: TQ10 resto
Thanks!
I decided to forego painting, but did apply a low gloss clearcoat I have on hand for HO slot car bodies to clean up some sanding scratches. It turned out pretty decent .
Fairly glossy when wet.
But loses some gloss as it dries.
Time to hang some parts.

Re: TQ10 resto
Thanks! Dang pleased with it so far and have stuck to my plan to restore it without any re-re parts.
The rear hole patch is not perfect, but it is presentable.

Re: TQ10 resto
Forum image attachments acting strange, so editing this a bit.
New in bag TQ wheels that came back to the US from Germany several years ago.
Instructions included with the TQ wheels.
On a roll as a roller.
New in bag TQ tires!
I don't have the correct Proline boxart tires (Dirt Flirts) but I do have Terra Tamers which are similar.
Side by side.
I think TQ front tires are the correct choice.

Re: TQ10 resto
Scored a clean stock motor on Ebay.
Shame that the label is not visible once installed, but looks more at home than a Trinity motor.
Protection installed.
And for the first repro part on the project. I'll probably use a TBG Sidewinder body, also. So, 2 repro parts are necessary in the project in total.

Here is mine. TBG body and MCI decals.
Mine isn't an exact original, more original themed car.
