This was pretty much a car where era didn't matter as much to me as that the parts were available in 2013 or reproduced in 2013. The exception are the Thorpe turnbuckles but they look like DuBro

It will also get a rpm shorty bumper. I know my logic is odd but I like it hahaha

Re: How to: fix the ugly anodizing on your ReRe
Just curious ... why are only some of the washers purple?
Something clever goes here...

I have purple for everywhere but I have a thing about using purple washers and nuts together

Re: How to: fix the ugly anodizing on your ReRe
Use polished silver washers with your purple screws, that should set them off nicely against the black without making the car even darker.

That's beautiful car, nice work. The purple and white really go great together.

Whats the anodizement cost for all the beauty?
I think I paid close to $120 for the re-hard ano of my world car chassis.
