Well I am jumping in with both feet here is what I am starting with? no much, but a great deal thanks again Mike!! Please fell free to give me your input. I can only hope this come out 1/2 as nice a Rizzo's cars. I am feeling orange its my favorite color and all of my cars have some orange on them. I am not going to do box art or anything close. I am shooting for something real looking or scale looking?

She was rode hard and put up wet!!

well Ebay has been good to me Not a bad start should I do the chassis Orange or black? the cage I am thinking Orange maybe all Orange what do you think??

well disassembly is complete I am cleaning up the little parts. the shocks have seen better days. but they cleaned up easier than I expected

New chassis 24.00
New cage 10.00

I say Black....but I'm partial to Black for a chassis

i believe the tamiya plastic will dye with rit, i say go with the dye job, test on a peice of scrap first. and go black.

lookin good by the way

Are you sure? I never tryed that?? this chassis was an impossible find. he miss spelled the listing and another on sold for 60 the next day I am the only one who bid on this one, I just got lucky no one else spells as bad as me

I don't think I'd try to dye it. The reason the RC10 "plastic" dyes so well is that it is basically nylon. There is no nylon in the Tamiya plastic that I know of. It's not porous enough to accept the dye well. Anyway, great looking start you have there! I really like to see the old cars brought back from the dead, just like the real ones.

Thanks Its really going to look good with your rims on it !!!

Well the chassis painting didn't go so well, so its soaking in Castrol Super Clean it will be striped in the morning. Orange Glow Kryrlon is not a bright Orange it floresent and goes on like chalk so it will be black tomorrow, and I think I will do the cage and body orange, and maybe a green set to, with the chassis black I can change up the body color pretty easy.

I striped the rollcage I know I have a new one but I thought it couldn't hurt. Wow this cage is red plastic that was painted yellow, lime green, orange, black and then red again but it striped great I think I will paint them different colors and see what I like better.

The chassis looks better black. I am looking forward to the new body I have on the way. and I am not really happy with the orange on the cage its not bright enough?

I think the orange looks pretty good. The original is red and I always thought that looked sort of flat. Before you change it, get the body done-- the orange may pop a little more then.
Looking forward to more.

orange always comes out darker than its supposed to, along with red.. try maybe a neon orange? the neon'ness fades a bit after laid down

looking good rick, what wheels are you going with.

I like the orange too, at least from the picture. The right accents on the rest of the car could really make it stand out.
