Hey monster,
curiosity is getting to me on this one. Why would you want to do this vs. the stealth? Just wondering is all...

MONSTER?? :? :lol: No need to drag him into this. :lol: Just because it's what the chassis was originally designed for. The battery fits on the left with either. I'm sure I'd stick with the Stealth.[/quote]

Pansy, I'm running a six shooter :evil:[/quote]
I'm still torn. It sorta depends on how the case I have cleans up. I'm definitely going mid-motor though. Seems appropriate. Pansy? C'mon you can do better than that! :P Oh yeah, I forgot. You're on double-secret probation with the mods already. Before I hit submit, I can tell I already F'd up the quotes. Apparently the region of my brain that's used to properly delete quotes was screwed up back in the 60's.[/quote]

I think I might cut and paste this mess in my sig :lol: :lol: :lol: How did you do this? :shock:

Sadly, I thought I finally got it right! :shock: :oops: I was going to delete it, but as with all great works of art they need to be enjoyed. If I ever run out of ways to embarrass myself it's time to leave all internet forums.

What are the top a-arm choices for these cars, and tire manufacturers for that matter? I saw the compounds listed in the other thread, but what's the cheapest/easiest way to get them for vintage applications?

I'm converting mine to 12mm hex and running touring car wheels with foams. There's a how to on AE's website... http://67.199.85.166/resources/resources.php?page=dswheels

Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably have a few more questions, but I should be just about there. :D
