American Racing Conversion Sprint Car

[Johnboy72]

Well the wife has been harping on me to clean my RC corner. So I did so and figured I'd mock up the car.

We are currently going through a court battle and it's effecting my kart season. So on a time out. So figured I'd keep my mind busy and see if I can't put this together with stuff I have laying around.

Ok, so thought with the talk about a 30 day buildoff, I got excited to build this. However I'm leaving mid next month for vacation. I'm going to go ahead and make an effort to complete this thing. Thanks to Rod, got all the white Re Re parts for this build. Placed an order with Tower for tie rods, bolt kit, etc. I picked up the AE plastic steering bell cranks as I can not decide which way I want to go. Have some other bellcranks.

Now it's onto polishing.

I see the Dec contest is on. I've been waiting on my Tower order to complete this build. Then it hit me. I have everything on my Blue Classic ReRe. Plus the blue screw kit will fit that car better. So I can finish this car tonight minus stripping and polishing the tail nerf and shocks. But feeling the blue shocks on this car.
I'll post pics soon. Back to work. I want to enter this car in the Dec contest.

Oic....your not talking about the buildoff

[Johnboy72]

At first I was. I got excited like a little schoolgirl with her first crush of the idea of a buildoff. Now just trying to finish this loose end before tackling other loose end projects.

Not really shiny enough but close enough for gov't work.






Using my last Gambler body with a Protoform cockpit.

That is looking so good, love your furry friend as well!

You gonna put some polished velocity stacks in those dimples?

[Johnboy72]

Rod, if you didn't send those ReRe parts, I'd still be treading water with this build.

Cool, happy to help. You know the front arms were original right?

[Johnboy72]

Didn't even notice. But then again, I'm still waiting on my Tower order. So I used my Classic ReRe for this one. Your parts will go back on my Classic when Tower ships my stuff. In any regards, your parts started the movement.

Wow, beautiful!

Some polished velocity stacks would definately put her over the top!
