Manual for Optima Mid Custom?
I am about to restore an Optima Mid Custom as my next project but can't seem to find a manual anywhere.
Sure, I can probably restore it anyway just by finding images of it. Still need to know some details:
- Universals or dogbones in front?
- Gear- or ball diffs?
- Turnbuckles or plain rods?

MID CUSTOM
dogbones everywhere, bushings, gear diffs, plain turnbuckles

It even sounds logical to me. The Optima Mid Custom seems like a heavily downgraded model when searching for it on Google Images. Though it has one good part. The body looks much better than the "space ship" - Optima Mid Custom Special
