ULTIMA - MY PROJECT
This is one of my favorite Vintage rides. The Ultima..
The design just draws you in to take a closer look.
This particular one has the RC10 rear hub upgrade. The shocks ( Made by trinity?? ) The Aluminum rims to match. New cut body and cage.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Re: ULTIMA - MY PROJECT
Looks great!!! What would set it off would be a hot trick top plate and some smaller rear tiers (the tractor tires just look too big). I'm having the same issue right now with my frog build.
