a fun one with many cool upgrades for a vintage kinda look.

Tamiya steering? Where is that Ban stick....
Lol just kidding
nothing wrong with experimenting
Here is one little hint- mock up wheels and check widths, you'll probably find it very wide

Same with the kyosho and this yokomo too. Lots of options....always good to work with what u have. Plus there is a great alloy following with tamiya

well here is a quick pic of it now. its a early edinger with notched piston shocks, light gold chassis and 7 rib frt tires. i added andys frt arms, andys frt bumper, mip steering had to move the nose plate to the next hole if the body doesnt line up will go back with the orginal steering setup, than going to add a mip change box with lite sink setup yes iam going to drill the chassis
dont kill me
its an a stamp not a no stamp chassis. than top it off with that amc body!

There's almost a decade gap between some of the parts you want to use.

Missed the Parma body you're planning on using. Think that breaks past the decade mark.
I realize WOIN and modern runners have a larger gap than that in some of the parts they use but there's a recognizable purpose/goal in what those builds are going for. Those cars are built to compete.
IMO you've got the wrong MIP trans for this build but if you don't have an SP-1 then a 6-gear is a better choice than the Changebox under an oval body. Especially on that chassis with those Andy's parts.
