So i went into a local Hobby Town yesterday and was talking to a kid in there about vintage stuff and he said they had got a couple of gold pan re-re's back in december but never sold them, so they were actually boxed up and going back to the distributor on Monday so i asked if he could make a deal on one and he said 229.00 so i couldn't pass it up! :D I will start building soon.

That's a smokin deal. You could buy the other one and sell it on eBay for a bit of profit

Went to my local track yesterday for a few hours and watched the races and got motivated to get some more work done on this. Lots of guys running the mid motor B5's and they handle very nice. Got my stealth together and mounted as well as the rear bulkhead and rear arms and hubs.
