The Diamond One's Dirt Oval Ultima
This is a replica I am doing using all vintage parts....it's replicating an Ultima the Diamond
One raced in the 80's....the chassis was a beat up pile I restored, along with the TrackMaster tranny...it will be a slow process, but here's the start

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Re: The Diamond One's Dirt Oval Ultima
That is coming together nicely. Since it is a replica, I assume you already have plans for the body and paint scheme.

Re: The Diamond One's Dirt Oval Ultima
Now waiting on body posts, and for the Diamond
One to finish the body and wheels/tires....remember, he's doing it the way he raced it back in the late 80's
