Damn that's amazing.
If you don't mind me asking. What did this project cost, time wise (to collect the parts), money wise?

I'm still under the $200 mark, but only through the help of some great guys here( 75% of the parts came from members
, ( dont know if they wish to be named or not) and I've just recently obtained a large amount of the NIP white parts, but overall around 6-7 mo

That's awesome Reg. I doubt many could get much cheaper on a build like that. Well worth putting together. It will be cool to see the progress.

Very nice.
The early kits came with 6872 TQ-72 Fronts/6822 TQ-22 Rears. I have a later example that has 6873 Fronts / 6823 Rears. As a side note, the later version I have is also one with the newer style white rear A-arms which use the 7356 inner hinge pins.
PM sent on the rear rims.

As usual it looks like it's going to be a topnotch example. Are you going to build a runner so you can come race the VONATS next year?

The VONATS timing is always really bad for me, but I may find a way--but I'm looking forward to the on-road nats this Feb for sure

I'm looking forward to the onroad race too, my worlds dual sport is ready for gearbox class. I just need to find a 12th scale. I was watching an old CRC car from 94 but I was out of town when it sold.

Is that the booth from Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? Must be how you "REALLY" got that chassis.
Nice score!
