For the apology, Steve I am very sorry not to have gotten this posted when I first received it, I had intended to get it painted up and then post it. But as any TC member that I have worked on projects for can tell you I am not the fastest guy out there. Right “Rothmans Racing Team!!!” HAHA!!! When I received the car I was right in the middle of remodeling, moving and selling a house, so needless to say my schedule was a bit full. But enough excuses I stand at the alter begging for forgiveness, I am not worthy LOL!!! And now to the thank you, Steve Collins AKA ‘Scollins’ is an absolute genius when it comes to working these Tamiya manta rays into the Kyosho Nostalgia line of RC bodies. This skyline body is a real beauty, so when I saw Steve working on the Top Force Gt40 I had to go and ask him if he would do me the honor of building one up for my Skyline. The guy is not only a genius but fast as well. He knocked out the chassis with both speed and quality I would never have been able to match. Everyone knows I am a nut for a good paint job, but this chassis looks absolutely fantastic even without the body painted, Steve not only designed and modified the chassis using mostly all Tamiya parts but he also cut and fit the body for me!!! So THANKS my friend I must say that I am really pleased with this beauty. This is on my permanent collection, as I plan never to let this beuty go, now if I can just find some time to give it a paint job worthy of the chassis

The modifications on this Top force chassis are quite numerous to list, needless to say beyond my talents, so any tech questions please ask TC member Scollins he is the man with all the skill and truly deserves all the credit on this one!!!

Very nice! Sure beats the devil out of the 'Mantis' chassis they stuck under these great bodies, pure junk, this will be fabulous!

Excuses excuses, gosh, what a slacker! Everything that I've waited for from you has been well worth the wait, much the way this paint job will probably be, if you'd quit making excuses. Neat car Matt, and I think it's cool you have a piece of Scollins RC history. Now, git 'er dun!

Wow, I feel honored to have made such an impression with my chassis handywork on your Skyline. Unfortunately, all the little tweaks-and modifiied areas of the suspension arms and wheelbase adjustments are hard to see in pictures. It was a pleasure to help out a talented guy like yourself, cant wait to see the paintjob!!!!!
