The Tenderfoot’s red Tomahawk

Post by **Mr. ED** » Fri May 04, 2012 9:20 am

I'd add some silver grey in the paint scheme and keep the black for window frames, pinstripes and other details mainly

Looks awesome, Lars! Can't wait to see it finished. So is that what you're gonna call it, the "Tomatohawk"?

Thanks for your input, but I don’t know about “Tomatohawk”

Guys, what do you think about this babies, will they work on this vintage custom car?

Silver or Titanium?

Or should I go with the original ones

I like the look of the original shocks, If its going to be a runner i would go with the new style shocks, they both would look cool

I can't really tell the difference between titnanium and silver?
Either way: they are too shiny for my taste. I'd go for something more neutral; to let the real beauty speak out from the other parts.

Thanks for your feedback guys!
Okay, the piggybacks were nice but the original red one is the way to go! And i tried some Duratrax wheels, but I have some aj’s to… and some from Pergu... so help me out...

Those red Kyosho shocks look great! Too bad they *suck* so bad...I'd probably get some Kyosho Golds, remove the anodize, polish them up, and have them anodized red. Unless the car is only ever gonna sit on a shelf, I'd want a smooth, functioning suspension on it.

AJ if you have some front companions

Are those Carson tires on the Duratrax rims? I love the way they look on buggies. I used to have a set on my Bullet VW Bug Project.

Well… I spouse you are right all the way. They suck and the car will probably never touch the dirt…

Of cause I have the fronts too…

But I think it all comes down to the paint
