Asso_man has a early, un-restored A stamp 6035. Drilled for the stealth-
Yup that's correct but the chassis is in fact heavily A-stamped while also being lightly B-stamped. It can be seen here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16148&hilit=early+team+car

I'm pretty confident the chassis came with the kit too, also note the battery holder holes are not yet aligned with the rear bulkhead!

Reminds me I need to get that Team Car finished!

Some odd years ago Associated sold off a bunch (All of it?) of old stock. I don't remember what all was being sold but they unloaded a bunch of black pans for super cheap. The sale took place on their website and didn't last very long. What I bought was supposed to be a NIB black pan with motor mount and nose plate. What they sent was a black A stamp with a factory blemish anodize job. They also just chucked the motor mount and nose plate in the bag with the chassis which scratched each other up during shipping. If that wasn't enough, it wasn't drilled for a Stealth. I was so pissed I put it in the closet where it stayed for a number of years until I found out how rare it was. I put it on eBay and it sold for a hefty amount.
