Doug, I don't know how you keep doing it but you just do. Awesome. Great parts as always.

You are making me want to dye something blue!! That really sets that car off IMO.

[knucklebuster]

wicked!

[scr8p]

sweet!

thank you sooo much for using short front arms.......

[railey72]

Thanks guys. Been on a blue dye kick lately.

The fiberglass sprint is basically complete. Just need to ad the trans brace, body and wing. The graphite just needs some shocks/body/wing.

[RedScampi]

These are both great! That blue is eye popping. Fantastic job!

very nice....where you buy wheels and tires?

[Johnboy72]

Ya know, I have those wheels but they are not as tall as those. I have those tires too...the Grand Prix look new. Are they still available somewhere? I don't want to run out of them when I start selling some cars to pay for other projects.

I don't think that those have been avail since the late 90's- and they really weren't very plentiful then.

[railey72]

They are Advanced Racing Wheels and Tires. No longer in production as Reggie stated. If you have some and think you'll use them someday you should hang onto them as they are not real easy to find. The tires are very prone to dry rot and are hard to find in good condition. I have seen a few wheel sets on ebay lately though.

[Johnboy72]

Well I have a handful and some are marked MRP. I'm assuming Moody. Is there any way to store these to keep them from dry rotting? Sorry for the thread jack.

Food grade silicone, and a sealed bag-

[pastimesteve]

VERY cool. What an amazing build.

Great job,
Steve

Be careful with the silicon, even food grade. There are a few tires i have over saturated and sealed up and they expanded twice their size. I have only seen this with TQ front tires that were overly dry. A day outside brought them back to original size.

Just a nice thin coat is all you need.
