that sounds alot like something i would say.

looking good, though. once i get some stealth internals, my fusion tub will finally be done.

hahah thanks!!!

first thing that comes to mind is "composite function"... more will come.. if need be..

"composite effect" was the second one that came to mind

Well, I have been working a bit more on this little dude, still trying to mock-up things the best I can and to figure the ending result. I'm still not sure about the wheels and I am hesitating between these Pargu wheels and some T&A rims that would look more period correct... I still need to polish the front nose tubes as well as the wing ones. In the mean time, I received a RC10 from PBR Allstar and as it was loaded with countersunk washers, I just had to use them I also discover a small problem: as the tub is flat and as I used a Factory Works front shock tower with holes poisitionned the most inwards possible, there is just not enough clearance for the steering rack. Now if I still want to use it, I will have to relocate those two holes further outwards like on the stock front shock tower... Anyway, this is still a work in progress and details are subject to changes Merry Christmas to you all, snow has recovered everything here

Very nice, I would go with the other wheels!

Looks great, David! I'd vote for the TA wheels. I like the pargu wheels, but they just look odd (IMO) on some vintage builds.

Have you tried the short ball studs as a possible solution to the clearance problem?

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Very nice build....
I didn't know Andy's made white arms...

First Class Build!! I would also vote for T&A's.
It is amazing to see how far this buggy has come from when you first picked it up.

very nice .
i think i would go with the middle hole on the front towers. that was the position we use to use BIDT with these arms.

we need more pics of this car and more info on the wing.

Damn David,

Jealous of your collection. Fine piece of work.

Worked a bit on this one over the weekend. Finally went for T&A alloy wheels and managed to find a few missing ball caps for the front end. I still need to make up my mind about body and wing, polish front nose tubes and modify some bits and bobs. Otherwise, it is pretty much finished.

Here are some pics:

This is nice... Look s very cool.

HI!... Looks good! Where did you get the shock collars from?

i found you .. ... where did you get the top carbon cap from as you dont have it listed here .. love the look of the car

this is not the car you are looking for that was listed in the AE throwback thread. the car you are looking for was a fibrelyte prototype and is in this thread:
