Project free Frog

Post by j.d.roost »

A bud gave me a few free cars the the other day.
This is going to be a runner for sure! It will be nice to have one that I don't
have to worry about "vintage" parts. :)
Thinking about a Lexan Brat body....
Any other ideas?

Can't go wrong with the Brat body. A Parma lexan Blackfoot F150 body would be sweet too.

Those front wheels look like Astute rims. Are you going to run them?

So the project took a turn in direction. The free Frog chassis had the "ears" shaved off of the body mounts so I could not mount a Brat body. I ended up mounting it on my re-re until I can find a cheap Frog chassis.
Found a box of old motors lastnight in my Frog bin.. :D
