Finally: Super Blackfoot

Happy new year 2016! :-)

Since I'm down with the flu, I decided to work on a very easy project between the years.
I was looking for some time for a good condition Super Blackfoot to add to my Blackfoot collection. Apart from the hideous Blackfoot Extreme and Blackfoot III, I've always considered the Super Blackfoot the least desirable of the Blackfoot lineup. Mostly due to the loud 90's decals and the lack of genuine sponsor decals and body details.
Then this one caught my eye on eBay. I hoped for a nice condition under what I thougt was a lot of dust. I got it for a reasonable price.

In my hands, I realized that the yellow goo on it was nicotine mixed with ages of dust. Boy, that thing reeked! The second thing I noticed, that the chassis belonges to a Bush Devil (blue chassis, pink wheels), although the wheels weren't really pink anymore. Well, out came the Bref degreaser and with this and a warm shower the goo came right off. And what do you say, it was NEW under it! :D

So what to do: I decided I wanted to keep the new Bush Devil chassis and wheels for a possible resto in the future (I know I will want a Bush devil sometimes) and opted for a new red re-release chassis. For the wheels, I had a set of NIB red King Blackfoot wheels and also a new set of chrome King Blackfoot wheels. As the chrome ones were without package and tree, I went with these. I added a red pinstripe with fineline tape to the wheels.
The windows and body got a good polish and came out perfect. Result! :-)
