My first restoration project

[RedScampi]

That looks great! It's amazing what a litle paint will do to really make you feel good about a project!

Only bummer is the lack of Cragar stickers that came with the repro body I'll have to get somebody to make me some

[madweazl]

Much higher quality picture.

Super nice... good job.

I'm pretty sure this is the original antenna tube but if anyone knows otherwise, let me know so I can track down the right one. This kit was amazing complete when I bought it.

I do not know if it is true or not, but an old guy at the local hobby store told me that Kyosho antenna tubes were black. Any one here anything??

The antenna tubes from both my Turbo Optima Mid SE and Optima are white.

That is what I figured. The original owner didnt appear to use it much and had everything from the original kit (still have parts on trees).

Super nice car you have there.

Which colour did you use?

[madweazl]

I used Pactra Bright Yellow; PC258 I believe.

Grabbed a couple more goodies today. Got a new upper deck, new belt guards, new f/r arms, battery holder, rear upper deck mount (the plastic piece), and wing buttons. All original Kyosho parts and brand new

Already have the new chassis, 2 new front shocks, and new gear boxes waiting to get installed. Next items on the list are the engine cover, wing mount, tires/wheels, and a front bumper and it will be completely new

[madweazl]

Let me revise once again, just found a new bumper and wing stays as well!

Scratch the motor cover from the list, found one of those too.
