Nice way for better shocks in front! It will be a good inspiration for something similar on my Brat re-re.

Rugged and aggressive, like a racer should look.

Thx so much guys! :-D Must admit the handling was not very good though... The car is so extremely light, and even with the softest AE springs it's way too stiff! :-D
bigmd74
nice.any pics with the body off?
SHY69
Sorry, got no topless pics. But not much to see underneath, pretty much standard. Steering is straight out from servo saver, with ball links.

Nice original work.

Thats a real nice job you have done my friend . so tell me how does it run ?
SHY69
Thx! Not too well, much too stiff... I should try to add weight or look for softer springs... :-D
SHY69
I'd recommend replacing or removing the original front bumper. It's really not good for the handling!

Very cool car here,,,just caught this post. Impressive stuff you hardly see on here anymore. You need to kit out a Grasshopper for racing next, with a CRP front end kit (a-arm kit)
SHY69
Thx! I've already run my Grasshopper. AND I've already bought the CRP kit - will do the mod sometime in the future
