Hot dang that looks cool!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: And the price was right!! I always liked that truck, so much so that I recall paying $22.00 for one from a hobby shop back in the late 80's. Now I really need to rescue my pit kit from storage in FL!!! :cry: But, ummmmmm......what happened to the Wes' World thread??? Something this sweet should be readily accessible in the Custom Shops Library , not withering away in the lost threads of HT!! :confused:

Wow, Wes, that was a sweet rescue job! Talk about a Cinderella story: a poor little busted joint of a body is now looking all mavericky and ready to tear up the track. :thumbsup:

Neal :dude:

i used epoxy - i had hard time with it..but just carefully put it on and let it dry (it became so hard that it will not break off) then sand and dremel carefully .. those wheels came from (i cannot find the cover that came with 1/64 cars) i just cannot remember the name of it. Hilltop knows the name of it. Hilltop??
