Also, that dodgy certificate is just that....dodgy.......and it's supposed to prove what? That someone can knock up an official looking CoA with a fake signature??? I just don't think that Gil Losi Sr. would be in the least bit interested.....just my opinion though.
As was pointed out a few times now, this is Gary Keyes. If you don't know who Gary is, then look at almost every factory Losi Racer and box-art paint schemes...then say thank you Gary. Seeing how Pop's Losi has signed and sold the very first XX-T off the production line, I don't see why he would not contribute to Mr Keyes endeavor, since they were also both part of (or actually were) Team Losi. This is not a JR-X2 shell though, it is a JRX-Pro or JRX-Proformanance kit shell, depending on the cut lines (if it's the latter, some guys will be CRAZY happy). Here is my new, un-cut Gary Keyes painted JRX-Proformanance shell for reference-
There is nothing wrong with skepticism, but if info is provided that adds validity, and people are still really skeptical, then they need relax and research.
While Mr Keyes is incorrect about the version of the shell (25 years later will do that) he may have the correct and original mold somewhere too, but if everyone hoot's, hollars and cry's foul...what are the chances that you'll see those shells made?
