Black & gold custom...

[askbob]

No doubt on the 'blue' towels. Cleaned up nice. Still haven't replaced the old appliances since moving last fall so I wasn't too worried.
It was sorta like 1986 all over again...

Can you explain the simple green anodize trick? Or maybe a link? Thanks

This is the basics of it:

Thanks, watching at work muted but I wonder if you can use the same method for aluminum?

[jwscab]

Nope. Aluminum requires a different process. About a thousand links on the web about home anodizing. It's not difficult, but it does use some chemicals that are a little on the dangerous side, and good dyes are not cheap.

I love it when a plan starts coming together...

The ano'd parts are like a beautiful woman.

The rap video is like finding out she's divorced and has three kids.

Made a little progress tonight. Seems the gold is very hard to get right in a pic. The V2 shocks look real good in gold. Tried moving the A&L chassis braces on the inside of the nose tubes to avoid using a nut. Also have a set of black nose tubes I might try.

Wow! That looks amazing.

Are the inner rear hinge pins from a regular RC10 rather than a Worlds Car? They look too long in that last picture.

great looking car bob, I would like to see it with both black nose tubes and black plastic front arm mounts. I think that would tie everything together really well.

[GreenHell]

Nice build! Looking good.

Was thinking the same after seeing everything together. I have both to try and also black rear mounts to test out. Going to try and figure a way to keep the CF battery strap too. The gold Ti turnbuckles don't match too well, is their anywhere that may still have NIP black turnbuckles?
May try and figure out how to get the Ti black.

the factory stuff is available at tower:

Ti doesn't anodize black, so you'll have to do a paint or something.
