Decided to shoot some paint...
Not sure about the wing color yet?



Chuck

That looks fantastic, very retro! You have some serious painting skills :wink: The wing looks cool as it is but if you're going to paint it I think that gold stripe across the back has two continue across the wing too? Paul Thanks Paul Yep, retro just like me. I like the paint as well but there are...

One small, almost insignificant , detail

Always found it challenging to cleanly route wires on a chassis.
At least in this case, an existing screw hole could be used.
The piece is a sway bar mount.

Very nice!
But a bathtub pic with no "ducky" ????

I added a couple of smallish decals and painted the wing.
Sanyo and Novak are vintage.
Still trying to keep the overall car relatively simple and straight forward.

This car won't be concours quality but it is in fairly nice condition. Early pics as received... LosiXX2orig.1.JPG LosiXX2orig.3.JPG The motor plate is probably the roughest part so I started there. LosiXX2.5.JPG LosiXX2.7.JPG Then onto sanding... Only the rear portion seems really bad so I am tryin...

Do you do your own annodizing? That looks great! Yep. I did not go to deeply into the process 'cause it is mostly covered here https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=46027 It took me a lot of reading and experimentation and it can be a bit wordy to tell the whole story. Still trying to l...

Hello What do most guys here do to rusted metal parts? I have a rotary tool that I can use a wire brush with, but I’d like to know what to coat the bare metal with after it’s free of rust. What I have been doing for all my steel parts is a blackening process that works fairly well. You will need a h...

Frankentruck Body off shot... No electrics yet, can't decide. Losi motors are pretty spendy so probably Trinity. Looks to me as though most if not all hardware is OEM, right down to the washers. On the front chassis brace I did replace the two rear screws with lower profile round head screws. The or...

The dying of the wing tube failure Got a little more done.... Tried to ano and dye wing tubes black... failed I will probably just polish and be done. got to me finally finish them. Just can't seem to let well enough alone. I was anodizing a couple of other parts and decided to try again. This time ...

Yet another stunning build!

You set the bar at nearly unobtainable levels for us mere mortals

Can't wait to see the body (no pressure).
