The bellcranks are custom made Houge from Ruffy. He had these made back in the day and I was lucky to get a set.

Thanks for the comments vintage AE and I am Miguel not Jake .

sorry miguel, I thought I read "Jake" earlier in the thread. That definitely explains the m in m_vince more than Jake would

Very nice build! But then again all the builds you have done are very nice.

Nice and clean build Miguel, very nice.

are you going to run that jammin' body on it? Easily my favorite buggy body....love it!

as always Mig, great production you are putting forth.

Appreciate the comments.
Yea this car is looking good, it is different from the rest of the cars I have and I think that is what I like about it. Hope to get the wheels on tonight and trim the body tomorrow.

Very nice car Miguel. Can't wait to see the end result.

Some more progress.
I am actually going to stop working on this one until I get material to cut the parts I need to finish it up but, it is close to finish.
I had to cut the body a bit more that standard because of the custom towers to make it fit but it was all worth it IMO.
Know some pics.
Sorry for the over exposed flash and lexan dust, better pics outside when the last parts are installed.

Very nice but you should loose the losi wing nuts.

Do you paint? If so do you have plans for the paint?

Very nice!

Thats really stunning - I love the mix of the blue parts combined with the shiney-new black & white!

I actually think the Losi wing buttons look good with the Jammin shell (which is one of my favs too) .... but if you feel the need to discard them - please send them my way

The only reason I am using the Losi wing nuts is because they are the same that Jammin sold under their name for this wing body combo and I did not find an original Jammin set.
Not sure about the paint yet. It will stay clear for now. I keep al my cars in the shelf with clear bodies until is time to run them.

Looks great m_vice,just started my graphite restore last week.Texas cars rule. We need a vintage meet down here sometime..

Miguel,

Excellent work sir. That is a really cool car and you should be very proud of your work.

Those white parts sure are bright

Jake

OK OK at leat you have a good "reason". Ofter times I really like clear bodies to show off what you have done with the build but I'm a painter so it really is hard to leave a body clear.
