Fredswain should be able to help out with anything raborn related.

Thanks for the help guys! I think he's in one of my Facebook groups. I'll have to see if I can contact him

Well I had a chance to get a bit more work done and completed cleaning up the wheels. They turned out alot better then I expected and the acetone worked like a charm to get the excess glue off. Now to get some bearings so I can mount them on the car.

I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for a body, I'm not exactly sure what my options are other then a renegade from Andy. What are your suggestions?

Had a chance to rip down to the lhs and grab some bearings and put the wheels on. I also had an Andy's bull nose front bumper that I was saving for a 10t project but I think it looks pretty trick on the buggy so I think it found a new home

Found an old ad from Stevek for the steering rack, thought it was pretty cool.

I'm enjoying the build, I totally forgot about that Pro-Steer system. Never did get to try one, I wonder how well they worked?

Wish I could find the old Pro Steer rack I stashed away years ago...

Love the car and the build, but that red front body mount is just killing the look. Do you have a white or black one to put on there?

Thanks man, Ya it's a bit of an I sore but it helps me identify the front

Haha I was waiting for someone to mention that! I'm just waiting to hit up the fabric store so I can grab some black dye.

Trying to work out the major stuff right now and then I'll get the fine details after. I need to hit up knk for some hardware yet and track down some decent tie rods and get rid of the marred up stock set.

I've been working away like a keebler elf on this body... I decided that it was worth it to try and restore that too since it's so hard to find a body for these things. I have a bit to go before I'm completely satisfied but all in all I'm pretty happy I may try and make a mould of it yet but I'll decide later how deep I want to dive into this thing. Honestly though it would be worth it, it's a pretty rare body

Thanks man, I don't really have a lot of friends that enjoy the rc stuff as much as I do so the compliments are always welcome, I truly appreciate them.l
The first time I saw the steering setup was in an ad and I thought it was the coolest thing haha it was sheer luck that I ended up with it . Needless to say I was pretty excited!

I wanted to wait to post a pic of it with the body on until I had some front shocks but I'm pretty stoked with it right now Still a long way to go but most of the hard stuff is done

Any chance you could fix the ransom pics? Looks like an interesting thread!

Great job! And this Prosteer steering rack!

Here’s mine
