Chad - looks great! Though, I'm not in the market for a tower, I will be placing an order for some suspension arms soon.

I'd be interested in front and rear shock towers for the RC10 CE buggies in CF.

Everyone,

We can make just about anything, we just need a part to get the dimension off of it and remake it.

Keith,

I seems just like yesterday that we were listening to Janes Addiction in the shop getting parts ready to ship, that was only about 18 years ago :shock: ! I learned a lot from that job, and had fun doing it. When you going to come back to Monee for some racing.

Thanks for the interest,

I'm planning on having you do some work for me in the future. I need a custom steering wheel plate for a simulator wheel I'm making. I don't know when exactly that will be though. I also am planning on having a part made for a Tamiya F201 F1 car to replace the front trans.

I miss those days sometimes. I don't have anything to race on a dirt doughnut though. I haven't even made it to the Leisure Hours track yet and I like off-road. :(

His brother was the kid that painted my sons go kart and Chad used to go by the nickname Paco :lol:
Yep small world Keith last I heard of him I thought he was getting with a gal racer that he met at the track named Gina. Sure hope he reads this.

DS towers...we can do that, just need a sample to remake them. They do no need to be new, we can use old used or maybe broken ones to get the information we need.

Al,

Yes, I'm that kid(paco, that brings me back)and yes had a short stint with the gal racer Gina and yes my big brother painted karts back in the day. You can check out www.rattlecanmarine.com to see some of his latest paint jobs! Nice to hear front you, do you remember my father, Vince? He's playing with trains now, to slow for me, but suits him fine. I've been racing locally with Rich Picentac (sp) and Bob Rohor stoped in a few week ago, very small world.

Later,

Chad Smith

Hey Chad,
Glad to see your still around, I really enjoyed our racing times back then, yah I'm not to the train stage yet but could be soon :) miss a lot of the people that we use to see every weekend well almost. Maybe I'll get ahold of Troy and see if he can paint some R/C bodies for me, he did a great job on our go karts back then even if he does'nt want to it would be a kick to talk to him again, I wonder if he remembers us.
Al
