Here's one of the builds I've been working on. It's pretty close to being the exact same car I had when I was doing VERY well in the local 2WD Stock class at JOROCC except I had a blue Litesink instead of a black one. I was consistently in the stock A main with 50+ 2WD stock car fields. There were weekends where we had a "G" main!!!

Thanks to all who helped me locate parts for the build!!! Anyway, here's the car...

Looks awesome, dude. Brings back a lot of memories. Now we both have that car again! Still needs that Parma Monster wing with the 3x5" sideboards. :D


Nice work!

Very stylish, I especially like the comibation of transluscent nylonwheel witht he grp on the all black.
HAve you got any thoughts on a pintscheme yet?

EDIT: jeezes my finger went dislectic again LOL

If I can make a suggestion: no fades, just hard lines, pearl white with metallic black.

Thanks guys! I'd like to get that body repro'd so I don't feel so bad cutting it since it's the only one I've seen since I started putting the build together. Don't need to think about paint MrEd. I'll be redoing the same paint as my old car. :wink: It'll be non symmetrical pattern with fl red and white separated by a thick blue stripe. You can kind of see what I mean here:

And that blue wave was a fade from a light fluorescent blue to a darker water blue. Was simple, and looked fantastic on the track. :D

Thanks! When I get around to digging out my VHS tapes, I'll upload some video of my car in action from way back when.
