Looks good.  What is the status of the body / dash etc?   Gonna paint it all before powder or do that at tear down?

Really haven't decided yet. I was thinking about dodge Charger Purple with the black chassis.I saw a charger like that and liked it. What you think. HOW does a person use paint to change color schemes?

Paint?  IDK. (well, i do, but the results look so crappy)  I had folks use photo shop on my car.  Been a long time since i played with any of it.  Not even loaded onto this machine.......

Hey mate,

It has been proven that a little (1*) Negative Camber increases your turning traction,
Unlike road car's, In off-road ( and rally) it's all about the tire's tread edges pushing against the surface rather than the friction
of the rubber on the surface. If you run no camber, you are left with approximately one edge (the outside Edge) contacting.
(when you go sideways, or not trying to get the rear to step out)
if you run a little negative camber, it allows more contacting edge's increasing your side "bite"

Cheers

Hey mate who? I agree with your post jet. I see ,looking back You took it as I said it has 2* positive. Missed that part but yes it has negative camber. Actually -1.5*. In other words the tire is leaning in at the top.

My suggestion for the colour is tainted by my love of Japanese turbo cars, but the body/wheel combo on this car is fantastic:



That Bayside Blue metallic is gorgeous, and goes really well with the bronze wheels.
