I was going to mention that :D But he was super humble with that part, and convinced it was not his part in the first place :lol:

Thanks as well Heyong!!!!! ( who was also my hookup on the wheel dots and the front springs 8)

So Aaron has sent me a NIP/Glass beaded Mag rear bulkhead for this car ( since the other guy is still not gotten one :lol: ) so while in NY I jigged her up, and machined both outer faces/suspension arm mounts and ball stud mounts off, and milled .070 off the top to match heights for the vertical ball stud mount ( that I made out of .67 FRP ) I also modified the top deck as the Masami car is, and I have a new WCS rear tower coming, but need to make a top deck that is closer to being correct, oh--and I installed the TCS

The car is shaping up nicely...And I have to say Aaron is the man when it comes to parts. He has helped me out too.

I´ll guess it would be difficult to improve an car the master drove.....guess is that he has already tried it and seatles for just that hole and there fore has no more holes.......

Looks Good Reg! Is there anything left of the original car there??? LOL

Pardon my out of the blue post, I've been playing with full scale cars lately. I have been lurking though to keep tabs on what's going on!

Loving this build Charlie don't surf, very inspirational! - You must have the patience of a saint collecting all the parts you need... especially all the correct stickers!

Its been a steep learning curve after getting my YZ-10 & i'm starting to appreciate all the different variants... & the fact that any parts for these cars hard to come by.

P.S Has there been any further progress on this - can't wait to see the shell!

Mmm - I saw the 94' chassis that Cedric (Kenooze) had up for auction recently & was able to see its outline compared to my WCS one.

Interestingly Masami's car has the top deck with the three teardrop holes similar/same as the 94 car, where as the replica car (93 WCS) only has the two holes.... but the screws for the two posts on Masami's car (& the WCS) are in-line where as on the 94' car these same posts are staggered to suit the cut-out that occurs in the chassis plate.
