The Motor is starting to take shape! I can almost smell          the  Nitro now, ahhhhhhh....

 

 

         

   Found these single plug fabricated covers, nice pieces.

 

 

 

         

   The panels are striped and ready for the body work.

 

 

        

The Charger is on the jig and ready for the chassis work.

The decision has been made to build a completely new chassis for the Charger. Work has started and I will be adding new photos soon.
