I'm looking for a 12LW for the vintage onroad nationals right now. Nice looking build!

I made a mistake this car is just a regualr 12L not a worlds... the worlds has a center shock this car has the original spring damper.

Yep it is the one I got from you. I might install some radio gear and give it a run on the carpet track.

This is my 12lw I purchased back in the day to race locally (Rochester, NY), then I retired and stored it for ~16 years. This year I got nostalgic for my high school days and began "restoring/updating" this old 12lw in the hopes of finding a vintage 12th scale class racing series near where I live now (Savannah, GA). I added 3 bolt rear hubs so I could run modern tires, aluminum hardware, full ball bearings, and titanium turnbuckles. The HPI carbon fiber front brace and finned aluminum motor mount are original hop-ups I installed when I purchased the car. I have a full compliment of carbon fiber braces and chassis parts (ae and aftermarket) to build 3 of these cars, but I keep it assembled with it's fiberglass components since this is how I bought it.

Whereabouts in Savannah do you live? I live on 52nd Street in Ardsley Park. All of my old "racin' buddies" are in Atlanta (or Parts Unknown).

The center oil shock and the three hole front steering arms.

I live south of the city (Savannah) in Midway, GA. I say Savannah because whenever anyone asks where I live and they are not from this area of the country and you say you live in Georgia, people always assume you live in Atlanta.

...and the brace that runs from one side to the other side @ the back of the chassis.
