Good call

chassy looks great in silver .. are you going to put on a chassy film or the lexan under tray ?

That is the chassis natural color ready for ano i believe!

It's bare aluminum sanded down to 3000 grit. No polishing, it'll get sent out for ano like this.

The scratches were just bugging me too much, so I decided to re-ano it. I got the majority of the gouges out, but there's a few left. It's still 99.9% better than it was.

Ah....now I understand the question about the body!

The wife wasn't feeling great today and stayed home from work. So instead of making all kinds of noise cutting the tub sides, I dyed some parts.

Once you go black....

That looks amazing! I would like it is.

I was gonna get this stuff packed up and sent out for ano. Then I realized I never cut the tub sides down. So I spent some quality time with Mr. Dremel.

Nice work! Hope when you mill it from the other side, you don't end up with daylight .

FYI I have one of those RCHR lightning bolt stickers that's used but salvagble if you don't have any luck finding a decent pair.

ahh, cool. thanks. i'll probably hit you up for that to have some repros made. i doubt i'd have any luck snagging some originals. though i haven't bothered looking into what stickers i need for it....yet.

Haven't got much of anything else done on this, the parts are still packed up and waiting for me to send them out for ano. But in the meantime, Joe whipped up a trans brace for it, as well as whittle down a stock body mount for the front. Notice the brace doesn't have the notch in the front like the factory braces that came later.

Thanks again Joe.
PS - please disregard what looks to be a 2.40 AE trans sitting in the back of an ultima.

Is your B2 trans-raping the Kyosho? Again?

seems to like it up in there........
