they cut up an A/fx chassis I was doing this same thing this weekend but did not finish. I was using a tomy turbo motor, but still need to raise the axel to get the gears lined up

Did one of those as a kid with a riggen motor,also made a jet car
out of a Tjet with a small Estes rocket motor,hooked the nichrome
starter wires to the pickup shoes.It burnt a hole in the track and
shot down the basement,shattered into a hundred pieces against
the wall.It was a good thing my parents weren't home.

Serious hack job on a Tuffy chassis. Melted plastic, cold solder joints, and center of mass raised substantially.

Behold the Can Jet.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaaha!

That sucker needs to go in my Museum of Chassis Horrors.:freak:

Truly a classic! It's what modern inlines became...kinda... Good powerplant with a durable pickup system. Just the way we drew it up in 3rd grade.

A snapshop of the times. We wanted power, but sure hated the wimpy Tyco pro pick up assems. Looks like this guy took it to heart.

....still LMAO :p...I'm gonna bid!...no really!

Hey, that body reminds me of my own seafoam green Charger. Mine isn't painted, but it does have the cut wheel wells. And as a bonus, mine has, ahem -- shaved door handles! :woohoo:

Gotta draw the line somewhere Bob!

Have a whole big bag of painted culls...one more didnt seem that critical.
I'll let Pete chisel all that ancient blue enamel offen' that charger, replate the bumpers, repaint the stripes roof and silver accents. Might even get the glass out without killin' the roof. Some guys have all the fun....LOL!
