Re: Gold pan whole lotta metal build.
i have a bunch of those too, had problems tapping the pot metal, and when i polished it to a mirror shine, it dulled in like 3-4 weeks lol. its like the same metal the sand scorcher arms/tranny case are made from. ill keep my eye out too and check if i have any extras. the last 8-32 set i bought from ebay went for like $30 bucks or some horsecrap, was angry i bid too much, happens that way sometimes... i didnt want to get outbid at last minute and i threw a large bid in, and then someone else thought the same thing and threw in a large bid also.

That chassis looks fantastic. One thing that would make it pop is to have it milled like a worlds. the exposed aluminum of the milling would compliment the silver goodies on the buggy

I found these at Ace today. Solid ended acorn nuts in stainless that I polished.

I had the exact same thoughts as I assembled this car.

Very nice build!
I've also been on the hunt for HG knock offs, but they seem to be very difficult to find.

Re: Gold pan whole lotta metal build.
Thanks Emerson! With major help from your wheels of course.
I appreciate all of everyones positive feedback, as this turned out to be a labor of OCD!

Re: Gold pan whole lotta metal build.
This is one build that needs to go without a body. Awesome decisions on which parts should be gold and which are not. Love it!

Too funny Emerson!
What pics could I oblige with?
I have a little bit more done, just waiting on a few final details.

Bob my friend, give them LOHAS rims and shot again! Please!!!askbob wrote:Yes, Jake is the mystery man.His work is second to none!
I have it about 95% complete. The shiny CVD's I have are way too short, haven't finished the wheel spinners, battery tray(think metal), wing tubes, and a few other odds and ends.
