Notice it also has black plastic shock caps and a four on a side front tower. Seller claims B over A chassis. Can't tell about the motor plate. Last of the six gears there for sure...

scr8p wrote:well, one nice thing about this is the main chassis/suspension stuff is figured out already. it's just a matter of which shocks, trans, and tire/rim combo you want to go with. this one, like my other andy's molded chassis w/ the standard kick-up, i'm gonna use the mip shock bodies. the thing that sucks is now i need 8 black aluminum shock caps instead of 4. it'll most likely have a stock 6 gear trans, too, since i don't have any more mip's. and i don't want to drill the chassis for a stealth. i'll use the trailing arm setup on it, also, with the tall rear tower. on the front, i'm going to use a tall molded andy's tower i have instead of the one that came with the kit. that way, i can use the 1.02 shocks on the front. i like the tall shocks on the front.
but, neither of the andy's molded cars i have will be done until i can get those shock caps. if i have to, i'll strip an polish some blue ft caps. but, i only want to build them once.

since i'll end up using the 6 gear trans, i'd like to put the thorp 48p coversion in it, but i still need the 2 small topshaft gears for the diff. i'm also pretty much giving up on finding 8 black aluminum shock caps for this car and the other one. hell, i can't even find one. i'll just polish up some blue ft caps and be done with it. i like the way the shocks look on my A&L, so i'll just go that route.
i'm also building a pro graphite version of this same car, too. this one will use .71's in the front, though. and since the andy's steering racks are so hard to find, i drilled and countersunk new holes for a standard bell crank, as well as the holes for a stealth trans.
It was sold with all of my other Andy's builds back in 2008 when all my health crap started. Never finished it.
It was shipped to me in a separate box. But it had changed hands a few time, and the address labels stuck to the back of the kit box. Like 3... 1 on top of another, and apparently shipped priority at least once.
Looking for a readable copy of January 1991 radio race car magazine article or review of the Andy’s pro molded chassis.

I posted this one up a few years ago. Note the Jrx2 steering link turnbuckle and the incorrect (short a-arm version) rear tower with trailing arms installed. :)
If the url above ever croaks I can link to my Drive.
Well finally finished my Andy's conversion with left over parts laying around got the shocks from ebay, but I converted to another short wheel base rc10t.

I'm building several cars for Barry Raborn right now so I thought I'd show a few of them. Barry is a very creative person and going through his boxes of parts is a fun adventure into his mind in the late 80's and early 90's. I found a chassis he...

Here comes the fun part! Let's see what this box holds. Time to start building a brand new Powerglide Belt Drive. These are all of the Powerglide parts that remain that were never sold, not counting the two on my cars and one that Barry has on his...
