it's just a run of the mill a stamp gold pan..... nothing special.
front tower is wrong paired with the short arms. the car should either have wide track arms or a 2 hole tower. the tires and wheels are wrong, as is the body and trans brace. it should also have the light gold nose brace tubes instead of black ones, too.

Re: Holes in pan
Your car is a mish mash of parts put together from different eras.mick355 wrote:I'll probably run a stick on cover on the chassis to stop the debris.
I would like to make sure the towers are correct for the chassis. It came with the six hole front as a spare.
Not sure if its a cadillac or earlier??? The battery strap appears to be fibreglass and not nylon.
Yeah the holes are done quite well. I would like to strip the anodising back, and have it retreated.
With the peroxide do i just mix up a small batch and use a toothbrush to clean all the white parts.
Rear bulkhead and front arms are from an early Edinger/Cadilac.
Front tower and wheels are likely from a graphite car.
Nose tubes are from a Team or Worlds car.
Transmission brace is from a stealth era car.
And the black steering knuckles are the latest version...from a Worlds car or later.
Re: Holes in pan
Thanks guys.
So considering the condition of the car and the fact that it is such a mish mash, in your opinions, would you chase the correct parts? I would have no idea on how hard it would be to find them.
It would be nice to have it as period correct as possible even if I am going to run it.
Am I correct in thinking I should be trying to get early Cadillac parts?
What is the correct body? And best places to source one?
Thanks
Mick
