Thank-you M_Vice and Jake!
m_vice, no I did not. Even though I have 4 bottles of that original shock oil, I prefer to use the non-staining new clear silicone oils, over the petroleum based oils, in the replicas in case of a leak to prevent any staining.
DrillNink, yeah like twins.
Curtis, Thank-you very much for that information and now makes this car even more of a keepsake since it has one of your original paint jobs! Any idea how many of these bodies you painted for sale? I am sure you also painted the other two beautiful bodies earlier in this thread as well (the image that scr8p posted and the image of the car slotcarrod owns in SoCal).
Welcome to the RC10Talk forum and your 1st post!
You, your brother Steve and Gene have been such a huge help in gathering information for the lifetime fans of the RC10 and for the later generations that were not part of that era, but are just beginning to learn the roots and intricacies of this famous car.
For those that do not realize it, this is
THE Curtis Husting!
Must be surreal seeing a body you painted so long ago, still in perfect condition as f you had painted it yesterday Curtis!
I really like the color blends of blues to white on this body, and it will look fantastic once I am done with it. Hard to believe after all these years the original owner never had managed to finish trimming the body out for mounting it to the car.
I just had to rename this thread to "My Curtis Edinger" after he chimed in to say it was he that painted this beautiful body.
