Here's what i've got for starters--

still need to figure out what kit tires came with these cars and find a rear shock kit, universals and the correct rear rims

Damn that's amazing.

If you don't mind me asking. What did this project cost, time wise (to collect the parts), money wise?

I'm still under the $200 mark, but only through the help of some great guys here( 75% of the parts came from members , ( dont know if they wish to be named or not) and I've just recently obtained a large amount of the NIP white parts, but overall around 6-7 mo

That's awesome Reg. I doubt many could get much cheaper on a build like that. Well worth putting together. It will be cool to see the progress.

Very nice.

The early kits came with 6872 TQ-72 Fronts/6822 TQ-22 Rears. I have a later example that has 6873 Fronts / 6823 Rears. As a side note, the later version I have is also one with the newer style white rear A-arms which use the 7356 inner hinge pins.

PM sent on the rear rims.

Update!!!


Look what just arrived from the fleabay-- Gonna change some things on this build now and yes............I do have a 1962 phone booth in my house

As usual it looks like it's going to be a topnotch example. Are you going to build a runner so you can come race the VONATS next year?

The VONATS timing is always really bad for me, but I may find a way--but I'm looking forward to the on-road nats this Feb for sure

I'm looking forward to the onroad race too, my worlds dual sport is ready for gearbox class. I just need to find a 12th scale. I was watching an old CRC car from 94 but I was out of town when it sold.

I have aquired an AGI Jammer from bscotti for something a little different for the gearbox class--
and a C&M cobra converted 12l for the 12th scale class

wow, looks like it's going to be a great build Reg!

Is that the booth from Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? Must be how you "REALLY" got that chassis.
Nice score!
