Black & gold custom...

[vsefiream]

Wow that is hot. Maybe it's just me but this build reminds me of a '78 Solar Gold Trans Am Very cool



Yea... no, maybe????

[askbob]

One more last minute idea... Did or does anyone make black 1/8" hinge pins that use e-clips on the ends for any car?

[jwscab]

not that i know of, but you could blacken regular steel pins. they should end up looking like the tie-rods, which are black oxided. If you use stainless pins, you need to use a particular stainless blackening. someone posted a thread about the caswell black oxide kit with good results. Not a very hardy coating, but it lasts if not beat up too much.

Bob, that is a great looking car you have. Nice work once again.

great looking car bob, I would like to see it with both black nose tubes and black plastic front arm mounts. I think that would tie everything together really well.

I agree with the black nose tubes, but not the black plastic front arm mounts. The rear arm mounts are gold. Keep the fronts the same.

This car is sick! I look forward to seeing more updates.

[milkyd]

wow thats a nice car

[askbob]

I appreciate the comments! Chassis look familiar Jake?
I mocked up several different front end scenarios. Kinda like the all black. I can always use rear black mounts to kinda flow.

[askbob]

Almost done.

[RC10resto]

Well done and it looks like it will work

Who did the anno again Bob? Also- do you know what those rear tires are?

[askbob]

Don did all the anno work, which looks way better in person than in pics. Very happy with it. I know that the rear tires are Proline Rally Hawgs(NIP) and they're a bit oldschool, but I don't know what they were originally used for. Was gonna use some square fuzzies, but these looked neato and a bit different.

damn, that thing is so nice. good work to all involved.

[lowrydesign]

Wow that is super rad, love the shock bodies! how did you remove the hard ano?

They were designed by Proline for the Yatabe Arena surface for the 95' Worlds, and there is a front tire as well- they rebadged or issued them as Rally Hawgs after as a play tire in a pseudo shortcourse rally buggy class
