Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Hmm cool, thanks for the link. TMS was one of the companies who's name I couldn't remember when searching.
I had since found these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIP-Vintage-Sees-billet-aluminum-wheels-for-Tamiya-Blackfoot-Mud-Blaster-Beetle-/231649635932?hash=item35ef64ee5c&nma=true&si=uOpwOp58E8lFwTzx1ekMDBGxPbs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
They look very similar except are drilled. Apart from the holes they look almost exactly like the TMS wheels in your link.

Can anyone help with the ID on these UJ's? It's driving me nuts since they have no pin holes!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Does anyone have any idea what this body is from? Came with a bundle of parts I bought. I thought it vaguely looked like an AYK body, but I can find nothing that matches exactly.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The indents on the sides with the A in them were a dead give away...they're for holding down the body. As far as I know Parma made the only aftermarket body specifically for those cars.

Looks A LOT like a PB Mini Mustang body..... a car that was sold by Parma in the US. Maybe a connection?Phin wrote:The indents on the sides with the A in them were a dead give away...they're for holding down the body.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Don't know much about the Mini-Mustang's history but I've seen a couple of different body styles on them. I would say at least one was definitely made by Parma though. There's one body where the side windows styling on it is the same as on CAT3K's Monogram body. The Parma RC10 Chenowth had that styling too.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
the mini mustang that Alex gave me free of charge has a body that is really close to that. Really the only difference is it looks like netting at the top of the windshield vs. smooth like this one.
Either way its a really cool body
Todd
Either way its a really cool body
