uncle uses their paint , but too pricey for my $5 paint jobs

keep us updated looks like a cool build.

Trans is ready to go:

Steering and camber rods cut to length:

Front Steering: 37mm
Front Camber: 23mm
Rear Camber: 27mm
Steering Linkage: 24mm

EDIT: These turned out to be a little too short. On a few I had to add around 3-5mm.

I was piddling in garage this afternoon and had an idea. I wrapped the motor plate in paper towels then sprayed with carb and choke cleaner letting it soak for about ten minutes. The powder coat "wiped" off easily with a flat screwdriver. It was orange powder coat (see first post.)

Done for the most part....

I plan on using this car as a vintage up and down the street beater-tires will "adjust" in due course. Would appreciate it if you guys could suggest the best motor from my small collection for this car. Appreciate the feedback.

I would use either of the two trinity motors!

I agree with the above post. I used to race oval back in the day. Trinity is all I used.

Thanks for the input. I used the red '85 Trinity. Not liking this ESC, but here it is mostly complete (for now):

LOL got a T4 off Civilguy a while back, but it is in such good condition I hate to use it. I am half run/fun and half collector...just torn

Thanks for the reminder...I ordered some button screws for the tubes today...trying not to drive it too much until they arrive. Admittedly the charger is ticking away now.

Lookin good, great choice on the Trinity motor! What you doing for the body?
