VERY NICE!
i am converting a 10t to a buggy using klien arms as well, but i am wondering how to mount the body?
mine will be a raced weekly, i doubted velcro would work good enough (i've tried that before).
using a body post for the rear on the tranny brace seems best there, but i am not sure where to place the front body post?

put the body post on one of the steering bellcrank screws.

The gear cover is a B2 RPM piece. Simply redrilled the bottom hole to fit the older motor plate.

I'm an idiot! Why didn't I think of this?

Thanks man, very nice car btw!

WRONG! yeah i'm going home tonight and putting the b2 cover on the 2.25 motor plate and i'll be laughing at myself the whole time. thanks so much for the tip!

No problem, glad to contribute. As far as the body mount goes, I plan on using velcro. I have been using it on my Worlds car and have been running the snot out of it with zero issues.

could you please post pictures of how/where you used the velcro?

The velcro was simply attached to the side of the chassis and inside of the body.

Here are some pics with the paint done:

That is a great looking paint job!

On Ebay already?

What are the alloy wing mounts that you used?

Frankly, I have to admit that I find it very ODD that people go out of their way to find these cars on ebay, buy them, spend tons of money on parts and then post a build thread, just to immediately post that sucka back on the bay.
I could understand if you stood to make a profit after the "resto", but we all know thats not the case. People sure do have alot of time on their hands. Just my 2 cents...

he's had this since november of '09. that's when he started the thread.

My mistake, I didn't realize this was a resurrected thread due to his recent post regarding the paint and the constant build threads on here (and other sites) that immediately get posted to ebay.
There is a reason why you cannot spell the word assumption without ass. My bad OP.

Since the latest pictures were just posted a few days ago, I assumed (yup) it was just finished. Thread was kinda fuzzy on that..

My bad?
