Heres the second car I worked on this weekend. Its assembled using a bunch of aftermarket spare parts I had laying around. The only AE parts are the 6gear tranny, bulkhead, shock collars, dog bones, body post and front suspension mounts. The rest of the car consists of a graphite chassis that i got in the BST section, an A&L trailing arm kit, Andy's front arms, vintage Yokomo shocks, unknown alloy steering cranks, and CC shock towers and motor plate with a Trinity Monster HP motor. The wheels and tires will be replaced at some point. Unlike my CC worlds build this car has a wheel base that is about a half inch shorter than stock due to the way I mounted the trailing arms. I think it worked out well and might lend it self to a VW bug body in the future.

Its pretty much done except for the wheels and tires and I need to fab up some battery hold downs yet. I like the way this one turned out! I hope you guys like it as well!

Thanks guys!
Thats exactly what it is. Not good for adjusting at the track but my shelf doesnt care!

The parts were purchased over a number of years. I would buy them then install on a few different cars I have. I decided to return all my New built cars back to stock and these are mostly parts from that. Now that my new job allows me to be home more I can get a few more cars done that I've been planning!
