Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Wow you guys are no joke ! Nailed it just from my description, that’s definitely them. Thank you.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Thank you very much coxbros1, I now can post up the photos I have. Unfortunately these are the only pics I have of these cars.

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
So what do you all think of the purple ?
Kills me that even the shock mounts and body mount were dyed as well. I mean I know I can probably get new ones from Factory Works but both of these cars were built by a gentleman back when they were brand new when he was going to start going racing but never did.

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
If you don't like the purple, they can always be dyed black.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Yes that’s true, definitely a viable option. It’s either that or possibly replace all the parts with like new original white parts.... that’ll be easy

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Clearly I now know what the turnbuckles are, what about the rod ends ? Their shafts are so long it must have been a real chore to thread them on when new.... almost covering the entire turnbuckle.
What wheels do they look to be ? Of course I’m sure they were white originally and even though it’s hard to tell from the angle of the photo I can tell you the fronts and rears are matching.

Most likely Proline wheels

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Simple yet trick looking wheels. I definitely like them better in white though.

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
They look like Rocket City ball links. The shape of the ball end is different than a Du-Bro.MarkyDents wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:43 am Clearly I now know what the turnbuckles are, what about the rod ends ?

I've got a few that came on a parts car from a dirt oval guy.
In the pic, the bottom one is commonly available Du-Bro end for comparison. Although, I do have some older (20+ years) Du-Bro ends that look more like that.

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Looks like your spot on ! Nice job figuring that out from my not too clear when zoomed in on old pics. Thank you juicedcoupe

Re: #6036 Graphite Team Cars
Alright, today I finally had the chance to grab both of my graphite’s from storage. I really got tired of just seeing only my pics of them. I also wanted to take stock in what parts I have for them considering I couldn’t remember for the life of me if I had anything. Well I really didn’t remember the one original box I do have being almost half full of wheels and tires, I was pretty stoked to see that. I’m going to post up some more pics and more questions soon.
