Since there are a number of us making these older offerings drivable and competitive amongst themselves, I thought I'd take a shot at it today. What takes Harry 15 minutes though, takes me hours... :oops:
I started with Jim Hall's GS Corvette. Sanded off the body mounts where they extend past the valance mounting parts, radiused the chassis, enlarged the holes to get some float, added Paul's fantastic tires, trued front and rear wheels and tires, and was much happier.
But...not being able to leave well enough alone, I swapped in on of the M/T-1 motors after dunking it for 2 hours in alcohol. I used pen tubing to hook up the driveshaft, used hot glue on the motor and bushings, ran in the gears for an hour, and super glued the bushings to get rid of slop.
Wow! Smooth, smooth, smooth. Dead even with my NC1 Ninco 356's. I have never liked this car more! Seriously nice driving. Still want to run it on the truer one more time as I've got just a touch of chatter on right turns and it looks like a touch of cupping on that side's rear tire may be the culprit since there is ZERO slop in the drive-line.
This is going to push me to re-motor all the Ninco's now that are NC2 and higher. Oh, and the rest of the Rev/Mono GS and Daytonas.
Looks like Dum-Dums are in the forecast! Oh Dickie...
