I'm finally starting to get somewhere with my projects now.

I'd collected a number of parts for my YZ-10 but could not get my hands on a new front right suspension arm without buying another car or parts car.
I may have gone that route but just missed out on the auctions or didn't like the price. Finally... I found a new set of suspension arms. And since I had
a couple bent suspension arm pins, I picked up a new set that was pretty easy to find. This whole project basically revolved around finding those
suspension arms so now with that accomplished, I can get moving.

I'm looking to get this car back to original so I needed some magnesium steering blocks and hub carriers,
rather than the RPM plastic ones that are on the car.

Image

And then for some more magnesium - front bulkhead, motor mount, and rear bulkhead.
The car right now has an RPM front bulkhead, the motor mount is good, and the rear bulkhead has holes drilled in it.

Image

And for more originality... the graphite backbone.

I still need to track down the Belt Tensioner assembly and Battery Posts and a new front bumper would be really nice.

But I'm slowly getting somewhere.

My other project, the MX-4 has needed a few parts as well and I found some.

I need to get some new bearings and some miscellaneous screws and I think I can put together a complete car.

I'll probably end up ordering a new chassis through FiberLyte at some point as mine has too much "custom" Dremel work done to it.

And my latest addition to the collection - the beginning of the B-Max4 Series of cars. This one is brand new and assembled.

I have the body, wing, manual, and box for this as well.

Maybe not "vintage" yet but we're getting there, its a 2008 so its already 7 years old.
