Early 7001 10T Resto/vintage racer build

Post by mikea96 »

Picked up this nice early 7001 10T with offset B stamp chassis, thin shock towers and half hex ball cups. I will have the chassis re-annodized and i need to find some narrow front wheels and tires and some correct rear wheels and tires.

Most of the parts look to be in pretty good condition other than the scratches. Should clean up real nice.
