I don't know why, but I knew you would like it. Take it as dedicated to you
and thanks for the kind comments guys, I really appreciate sharing these projects with you. But hey, that's just a 6-gear tranny, stay tuned for the rest of it, it's just beginning...

It's coming along pretty nicely.
Early rear shock tower with two holes (compared to 4 for the later version) and early rear bulkhead with long wing tubes (both approved by the period police)

Now the front end, I would need a NIP front shock tower has this one has some scuffs on the rear face, if anyone has one, I would buy it immediately...

That's looking really good David. I still have some
original Associated white servo tape to make the cover for the gearbox top bearing. Just in case you need to keep the period police at bay...

Like hell you do.
These are very nice pictures.
Almost looks like a candle-lid diner for 2 in an ad for a five star restaurant.
