yes, yes you do...the only person I know that can start a modern day kit that was just offered up for sale today and when its finished it is now vintage

Todd

more or less......

I couldn't think of anything witty to say without opening myself up,

Jason, I found those rear tires. Sidewalls are good but the tread is a bit more worn than I remembered. Still decent though. Drop me a pm if ya want 'em and I'll send them along.

cool, thanks. pm on it's way shortly.

Alright, electronics clean up is next. I'm also gonna build a 7 cell pack for this. You can see the right side of the battery box is notched for it, and you can also see the wear mark in the tub from the 7th cell.

Sounds like 1985 Modified class setup to me

Better be careful, you might finish a project.

that's not likely. i've only finished one build, and that was over 4 years ago. and had i not needed it to actually race, that one would probably still be half built in my basement too.

Don't underestimate yourself, I know of at least 1 more

Alrighty.....

Electronics repaired, cleaned, and installed. I still have to build a battery, and get some period tire/wheels up front. Oh, and I need to say thanks to redscampi for the non rotted holiday buggy rears. Thanks again.

That blue tub is sexy. Love the build.

Looks good. I would like to find a new blue chassis and kick plate to re-create an old car of mine.

So, its getting close to finish. Is it going to happen?
