yeah i have the torsions backed off a little and stiffer valving in the shocks, it just seems like it works better in this car

| Sweet! I too love those fenders. From what I know though the molds burned in a fire a while back. Until someone makes a new set they are rare. Passed up a set a year or so ago and regret it. |

The dash is homemade... my first one, and I can't get tired of the pats on the butt for it... so thanks.....
I just need to get the suspension and motor caught up to the "pretty" dash...
I can only hear so many "show bug"comments before my eye starts to twitch.....
I'm jealous that you get to play with Leduc and the short course stuff.... too cool....
....Course... i'd probably get "asked to leave" after being found playing zoom in the driver seat of a Pro-4 truck.... |
