Looking good! Do you have a body for it? If not, Good luck. It took me two years to find a new one

Thanks guys,

I forgot about the satin polished motor plate lol, Im still debating on cutting off the top/back part...

I got the car from Goatless and he was going to build it to look like Sammy Swindells 1n Car, I dont have an original BBT body but Goatless sent the body with the same lines as the 1n car, Its from Wind tunnel Racing, It looks very close too the car it will end up resembling. The body will be the only thing that is not original BBT.

Ok made a little progress on the BBT,

The body is a little bug for the car, Not sure why, i had about 3" of nose sticking out the front of the car, Im not sure what to do with the front, the current look is kust not working for me. I also have been debating on what to do with the body being a little too wide for the car, i have about .25" on a side between the metal sides and the body, I could section the body and apply a white vilys stripe to seem the two half's back together.

What do you guys think....

I'd been in China for very long time. So I can't take the photo at the moment due to the buggy is in Taiwan. I will be happy to do this after I back to Taiwan. 8)

The Tires on the front are 1.9 Proline Diamonds and the rears are 1.6 Duratrax High traction Slicks. The Wheels are mini mags i think, I got them with the unfinished car, I have never seen another set with no hole design of some sort lol.

I have another set of wheels and tires i just pulled from another project but i cant find any wheels to match the rears in the pic below. I just used a set of unknown alloy bean wheels...
