Yes very poor form indeed. I guess what I meant to ask is are these rare or interesting? Im new and started a build thread then got deployed so I haven't had time to post or use the system much.

Sorry! Struggling with the formatting.

I found these on a treasure hunt today and I'm pretty stoked. All but the FM XXL are sealed in factory packaging. The one that is open is brand new but not sealed anymore.

Installed my schocks.

Got some shocks built today. 34 year old me could kill 12 year old me for using needle nose pliers on the shock shafts.

I got the bulkheads, shock towers and the control arms in. I've been working on the a shocks

Got the front and rear bulkheads up and some parts in the mail.

Thanks Bully. I used a little never dull or something like it to polish the chassis. It comes in like wool wads in a can is just slightly abrasive. I polished it by hand and then used my Dremel to buff it off. It made enough of a difference for me to move forward. I was just Leary of sanding it. Tha...

I appreciate everybody's help. Bully, do it have any before pics? That chassis looks really good and I'd be happy to end up there.

I'm researching some sand paper and polish right now. I think I remember harbor freight having a nice selection of variety packs?

Built up the rear bulkhead and shock tower.

I'm looking to start building my Graphite WOIN and my graphite chassis has a yellowish tint to it I'd like to get rid of. It's tinted or tarnished as if it spent years in a smokers house. My 10L chassis is 16 and has not tarnished at all. Does anybody have any recommendations to remove this?

Got a little more work done. I've got a great system for restoring old screws and washers I'm going to post.

The simple green alone does wonders. I washed all the parts and put them in the peroxide bath sealed in a jar.

Yeah I think they are duratrax. I'll through them in a parts drawer for later. Great discussion. Can't help but think what life would be like right now if my graphite roller would have came with a set of AE Shocks. AE shock parts on order.

I want to build a true runner so I had no reservations drilling this old A stamp out to fit a Stealth. I gave the chassis a good cleaning and that's it. Other than a few scratches it's in pretty good shape.
