Yes, i have to do something about that rear end. I´ve found a rear wing that I´m going to mount aswell.

Bad A**. Someday I will attempt one of these. I just don't have the time to learn the skills of bending and brazing right now.

Thanks - the front rims I belive to be eighties Tamiya
And Lonestar is right about the rears - 2,2 proline revolver

Thanks -
I wasn´t aware that the tires were rare - I bought them on some steel rims with black bolt on center hex.

Progress over the weekend - Got the wing and rear cage sorted out.
Now on to steering.

That's coming along nicely. Eventually when I get around to planning out a FrankenBuggy based on a RWD-only Optima chassis, I will be toying with the idea of a partial tube frame. I doubt it would come out nearly as nice as this, though.

Nice job!
Is the cage brazed together or bolted?
