Hardware kit? Mine included mounts and shock spacers, that's all you really need to add the shocks.

I have confirmed that you can dye the red towers black with RIT dye.

Hmm, when I got my plastic pieces for the mounts, I had to buy the hardware that included longer bolts and some brass tubing spacers.

O.K., You're right. I remember I had some longer bolts and brass spacers in my spares that I used.

Those Sand Blaster tires are great. I used to run them on my Subaru Brat and they made the cooles sound when making a turn on asphalt. Cheerz to your nice restorations!

I have seen this car in person- Last march, my best friend died. I returned home to Alaska for his funeral, and this car was amongst his collection. I am a Frog fan, and this one stood out- I am considering purchasing it from his daughter.

Wait a minute... You've seen this in person? I sold it about a year ago on Ebay. So I take it the guy who bought it from me died? That sucks. That's crazy that you came across it, if it was indeed my old Frog.
