Well i think it's just lost it's value!! some of you might know this some not bought this a couple of weeks ago all NIP i was gonna part out then thought nah then needed $ that got straightened out so i thought i would TRY to build this i have some new hardware coming for it and trying to find parts is well i'm sure ya all know hard one thing i really need is the front bulkheads nothing i have seems to fit screw pattern to wide go figure . Any way enjoy the pics and as the years go by i should have this car complete w/technicrafts and some other goodies

? would it be correct to use white ball caps or is black ones ok even dyed. i'm gonna try to keep it period correct for the first time in a long time Eddy

i say install these and call it a day lol

period correct for that chassis would probably be white.. the black stuff didnt come out till the world's car technically.. and if this isnt drilled for stealth.. its probably gonna be white caps, gold shocks, short andy's arms (not long), but maybe long.. i have altheizemers so i dont know.

those are the black ones i'm gonna put the short andys arms on there and it's only drilled for the 6 gear

Well it looks like i will have the front bulkhead and short arms on here and another ? what body should i use i have nothin

That chassis is designed to use the narrow front bulkhead and longer "worlds" style front arms. I have an RPM front bulkhead mounted to mine (same chassis), but it was a little tight, I trimmed the edges of the bulkhead. You could use a 10T bulkhead if needed. I have trailing arms mounted up on mine, just got some more parts this past week, I am taking my sweet time building it (okay....wife doesnt know everything on the car is NIP, gotta sneak them in when I can). My goal is to build the car with almost 100% aftermarket parts. Andy's chassis & trailing arms, RPM front worlds arms & bulkhead, RPM 2.65 tranny (it was already home-drilled for stealth), RPM battery box, bearing AE Worlds steering...so far. Plans for MIP CVD's, Yokie adaptors (or CRT .5 rears & 12mm HPI adaptors) so far.


I say get a 10T/GT black bulkhead, RPM ball cups, titanium tie rods, and keep building.

I was watching that auction just for fun, I'm glad someone got it and used it for its intended purpose.

well some more parts coming for this chassis(stay tuned), Andy's front bulkhead installed(BIG THANKS Jason) , ive also bought stuff just because it said andy's on it, so once everyting is here i just might have a Andy's garage sale LOL!!!

well these are gonna look sweet on here!!

well these came in, description off by a bit but still happy! i guess i should mount these now

I see you got the shocks finaly. I shipped them ages ago,by air mail too. Are you happy with them? They are very rare. Cheers-Jason.

not really botherd by the scratches inside the mounts but still happy p.s do they have oil in them?

There are scratches inside the mounts??? What do you mean,where are they scratched? I assembled these units myself from a bag of loose parts. Everything was shiny new when I got them. Yes I think I put oil in them when I assembled them.

like i said no big deal but i'll send ya a couple of pics tomorrow when i get batteries for the cam

As the Lord as my witness and just to prove that I did get these shocks new and unbuilt I did snap a pic of them before I assembled them.Well I stuck one of the shafts in to see how long they were for illustrative purposes.You will notice the coil retainers still sealed in their factory bag.To the best of my knowledge (and Im sure most would agree) these were brand new items. If there are scratches then perhaps they are from the factory?

I do apologise if you thought the ebay listing wasnt what you thought but there was nothing misleading from me concerning these items.
