Here she is, Finally..... UPDATED 7/09/08
After about a month, im finally finished. I set out to create a vintage runner that i can be proud of, and i believe ive done just that. Its only my second Lexan paint job but i didnt do to bad, these bodies arent easy to cut out The only thing not done is the front arms and the wheels, my nip white original rc10 arms will be here on Monday. Im waiting for JPS to start running wheels again though. But i couldnt wait to post pics.... my camera sucks!! pics look terrible
Here is what i got to start with
Here she is now,
I havnt tested it to see if i got the bugs worked out of the tranny yet but i think i did. Parts that i have nip waiting for it, shock rebuild kit, all new springs, sway bar kits, white arms, Let me know what you think, Thanks Josh

Looking good, don't hold your breath on the JPS wheels front, they don't seem to have time for little wheels anymore at least thats the impression they gave me the last time I dealt with them

Re: Here she is, Finally.....
i emailed them asking about what wheels they had available, and the guy was fairly prompt in replying. then when i emailed again asking for 4 or 5 sets i never got a reply...Synergy wrote:I hope he comes through for ya, he made me the same promises every week for nearly five monthsrc10absuer wrote:Ive talked to the guy a few times, he said if i keep calling back hell make sure i have a couple of sets in a few weeks, Josh

Update, I got the arms in and trimmed the body out and did a final cleanup. I just gotta find some respectable wheels to finish it off. I also have to apply the off road sticker set coming, and do the netting for the windows, oh and i still have to put the nip sway bars on. Josh

yea, it wasnt done on purpose i swear, my camera just sucks. i got the sway bar on today and the gear cover came in, im looking for a wing now and still awaiting a set of good looking wheels to pop up. im in no hurry but one day this thing will be very shelf worthy. on the sneak, i have brand NEW gear case halves i discovered at a hobby shop, im going to start picking up all the internals so one day, ill have a brand new tranny for this baby.
