It's been a while since I painted a body, but I think I should try to stay with the pink and blue scheme. May throw in some silver. The Andy's rear bulkhead does not have wing tube holes. Any suggestions on a rear wing mount?

I'd use the rear tower style mounts. I think A&L/ factory works makes them.

Yes, we still sell those

Thank you GoMachV... you just sold a set on Ebay.

Well the Holidays are over. Got a few more pieces for the build.

But... the front wheels are too big for the TQ70 front tires. I really want to use these tires on this wheel, so the hunt is on for wheels.

That looks like a 2.1 front wheel and those are 2.1 front tires. If those are hard compound tires they can be a real pain to get on the wheel.

Yes, they are the hard compound. I will try again and see what I can do.

I warmed the tires with a heat gun, and they went on. I still need to get different nuts for the front wheels. I think they are 5-40 thread, but I can't find blue to match rear. I may go with silver nuts on the wheels.

Wheels look good and I was going to suggest heat on the tires to make them more pliable. It looks like your front bumper is on upside down otherwise looks good.

It's more for mounting bodies than a bumper. Andy's had a smaller one to use as a bumper.

Good to know! Learn something new everyday

I thought the exact same thing Mike until I looked again at this photo. If it were flipped, the horizontal part would be angled and the body post holes would be pointing backward.
It's an odd part. Probably more a body mount more than a bumper as scr8p said.

Yeah I see it now that I look at it closer.
