A / V8 budget build

Postby btaylor » Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:04 pm

Putting the" finish up" on a languishing bench car. Based off the budget build style Shotgun had posted with his T roadster. its a chassis build style that we actually prefer for these old highboys, and it just happens to be inexpensive too. This one has a blem body, parts box gears and motor. CB steelies in 17x8 rear and 15x7 front shod with Shotguns finest urethanes all around.
SCX driver figure, and interior tray modified. Just a fun throw together for some dirt roadster action.ImageImageImage
