A-Man,it's an 1980's parma Dirt Modified Mudbus #10263.Sort of replicates some of the early style dirt track racers from the era.Here's a real example

that's gonna look sweet.
i only have one opinion, though. i think it'd look better if you'd use the short front a-arms. if you like that idea, and need a pr, send me a pm. i have some nip that are already dyed black.

I agree with Asso_man! I have yet to see an RC car which can carry off a rear bumper. However its looking awesome so far.

Yeah guys, back in the WAY back machine for dirt oval, the Syracuse guys ran those. I would say if you are going full-on period correct, the rear bumper is kosher.

No bash takin here,critique is just another part of the hobby. I'd have to say myself and Doug are from the Old Fart Gang,so to speak.I believe he's seeing what I'm thinking with this build.
