Just needs a little cleanup 8)

I'm actually surprised how well some cars clean up. It's far from perfect, why I'm not trying to restore it. But it cleaned up really well so far. Need to get a couple pieces and some tires before I can go any further.

So you're the one who outbid me on that truck. :twisted: :lol: Thought maybe it was after it got posted in another thread. That's cool, glad someone here got it! I would have bid more on it if I had more spare cash at the time. Its looking good. 8)

I need a rear bulkhead. It had a GT bulkhead and rear tower with a makeshift trans brace on it when I purchased it. What I'm building is pre-RC10GT.

Glad you didn't have more money :D I was ready to pay quite a bit for it. Been searching for one of these for a little while now.

I have been looking for one for a while too. I have seen some nice ones sell surprisingly cheap, but the timing has never been right money-wise. And yeah,I would have gone quite a bit higher if I could have. I'm glad one of us got a good deal on it. :D

Looks like you could easily modify that brace for an electric conversion if you were so inclined. :idea: Looks cool either way. Definitely different looking. 8)

Now I have the body painted you'll see where I'm going with this. Calling this one a Kinwald inspired Dudgeon conversion. Too little patience to seek out all the tiny details. I do still need quite a few more decals to fill out the body but my stock is pretty limited. Also have some RCPS turnbuckles to put on too. And finally some updated pictures.
