MRHEMI's 10T Project
I decided this past weekend to take the old girl out of the garage (for a decade or so...) and give her a bath, and show some love.
These pictures are after the cleaning up and reassembly. I just put a couple of screws where the RPM bearing steering rack was, and didnt put the steering links on either. This is the truck I'm going to retire the right way, as she won me quite a few races and sponsors along my racing career. I'd like to get new white arms and mounts for the rear, new arms for the front, and a new white bumper. One member here gave me a great deal on narrow front tires too, so she'll look cool in the case with new shoes too! If I can source a new nose plate and pan she'll be perfect, but if not, I may just get it stripped and reanodized. I'll take all the white parts and do the peroxide boogie when I have it all together. Stay tuned!!

Re: MRHEMI's 10T Project
I still don't mean to harp on this, but this H2o2 thing has got everyone thinking that AE nylon is or was snow white, it was always a cream or off white except the bellcranks and ball cups and some 2.0 3 piece CE rims and 3 piece 10t rims. I have quite a few NIP parts and or NIB kits that have never seen the light of day or been exposed to any serious UV light, and they are natural nylon color, and the earliest light gold Edinger kits were even darker right from the box.mrhemi1971 wrote:The pics make them look whiter than they are, They are cream colored now..

Re: MRHEMI's 10T Project
The flash definitely made them look lighter. I have a NIP rear bulkhead that I compare them too. I know they'll not be snow white, but a lighter color than what they are now. Once I find the other parts I'll try to make them an even shade.

I think this should get moved or at least copied to the peroxide thread.Charlie don't surf wrote:I still don't mean to harp on this, but this H2o2 thing has got everyone thinking that AE nylon is or was snow white, it was always a cream or off white except the bellcranks and ball cups and some 2.0 3 piece CE rims and 3 piece 10t rims.

Dont move this post! Please, I dont want a whitening thread here, I just want the white parts, regardless of how white they are.

I think you misunderstood. I'm not suggesting the thread get moved - only the specific comments made about too white parts.mrhemi1971 wrote:Dont move this post! Please, I dont want a whitening thread here, I just want the white parts, regardless of how white they are.

Re: MRHEMI's 10T Project
Got a possible trade deal working for some arms, mounts, and a bumper for the old girl! WOO HOO!! Still would like to get a set of the white ballcups and I have to get a new body too. One thing I never changed, but I just might, is a set of blue turnbuckles. The pictures dont show it, but the originals have some surfacy rust on them. What do you guys think?

That being said, do you think the over-whitened nylon will eventually darken again from exposure?

Re: MRHEMI's 10T Project
