ive aquired 'a few' ultramoldeds over years of irresponsible ebaying. rear bumper and tranny/bulkhead brace i cut up a perfectly good rpm car to get the bits. (steering, upper wishbone, and other stuff ive used on other builds)

i think a piece of quartered pvc pipe could get a similar look.

btw i totally have plans to make an upper deck out of the rest of that so im not wasting an entire chassis just for a bumper.

Hey, you can make yourself a nose plate.

i like your thinking!

was going to cut the front off at the bulkhead and use that for a bumper, then make a wishbone similar to the ultramolded out of the rest. but that noseplate idea is cool...

took it to the track again today. much better with the new setup but i got super frustrated since i'd be running really nice laps and then snag a wall or pipe and pop off a darn ballstud. i put it away and drove my yellow rpm car and ultramolded truck mostly.
