This is my brother's Sand Scorcher. We got them at the same time back in 82. Within weeks, his was a pile of loose parts in a big coffee can. After almost 25 yrs, I decided to rebuild it for him as a birthday present (02/67, hence the number). Here is the result. Luckily most of the parts were there. The body was too far gone to be salvaged (darn firecrackers). I picked up misc parts on ebay and with the help of Kamtec's Radio box and ABS repro body, this car is running once more. It features Hand Made fenders and hand made alu skid plate (rch clone) both of which were polished to a shine with a dremel.
Big thanks to Stevo309 for his inspiration and all his friendly advice on how to reproduce his awesome KERMIT SS. You know what they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Not completely done, but here are some pics. Looking for some RR front wheels and CRP covers still.



Needs a driver and RR wheels..... original steering mechanism original gear cover Metallic lime green is simply fantastic IMHO 'Baja' chopped rear end. More detailing to follow Home Made skid plate Polished Fenders 1 Fresh Paint Good ground clearance

Wish l had a brother who would do this for me!!!! Instead I've had to do them myself. Don't think my sister would have the skills to do this. She does however keep a very tidy home. Nice work and like the number reference too.
