Its beautiful.

That is a dream truck!

I have to suck up big time to beg VAE to paint mine!

wow! very nice!

so pretty......

stop motivating me!

Thanks for the compliments guys

And thanks to those who helped me to get this where it is

Looks great!! I've been wanting a white GT for probably the last 10 years or so, and it's the only Associated offroad that I dont have in white/fiberglass.

Does anyone do the early narrow rear tower in graphite?

Very nice GT, the body looks great.

To my knowledge no, but I don't know half what most on here do would be a pretty easy part to cut though. Maybe send a stock one to someone who works with carbon and have the duplicate it.

You could just get the wide rear tower and trim the "ears" off of it.

Glad I could help with your project! It looks AWESOME!

Finally scrounged up the "correct" mounts for this truck.



Per the manual.



Last thing on my list is the exhaust header. Note the thick square flange. If I had to guess this was a non production part, but I ask those of you know more than I do if they've ever seen this header on a GT?

Looks great! There's just something about the white parts GT.

Good job on the body. I chose to leave mine clear for showing off the guts, but if I had a body done like yours, it'd be on there!

You might be able to talk Vintagemishal into painting one up for you. All you need to do is ask.

Did you knurl the flywheel and sand the fins on the head yet? The two hardest thing to find for mine was the pipe and the receiver crystal. Still haven't found the pipe yet. I might just have to make one

I have never seen one of those headers, even on the very early models. I wonder if it might be from a different car/truck, or maybe even Paris or another engine manufacturer. Beside the flange, it looks like it is longer with a larger radius, and lower than the kit header.
