I know! :lol:

Can't wait for my body to be done and some Stixs to come in!

The hobby shop I went to last night was AMAZING! He had bins full of vintage parts! Too bad I have all that I need so far for this build. Only thing he didn't have was the two things I do need! Rear tires and of course a Novak 1! :?

Thanks for the compliment! :D

Looks good! This is really starting to come together...are you going to do any chassis mods or just leave it as is?

As RC10resto pointed out, I don't plan on triming the sides or adding holes in the chassis itself. The chassis is in REALLY good shape other then (2) small steering servo holes that were added by the previous owner. Hate to carve up a survivor you know? Besides, if they screwed something up back in the day, they'd just go get a new one. Now a days that's not so easy. :roll: I did however carve up the motor plate and nose plate. I thought I could alway replace those easier then a chassis.

Bitting my nails waiting for my body to be done! :lol:

Last answer I got from Doug was that he would let us all know when he had them in his hands, but soon. Don't want to bug him too much! :roll:
