Where did you purchase the wheels Rico?

I didn't take any pics of the underside. You had two choices: Vintage Carrera Nascar or Vintage Revell-Monogram Stocker. I originally was going to go with the Revell side winder but started adding up the costs for a chassis, wheels, gears etc to make a decent runner out of it and decided it was too expensive when I already had a Carrera chassis here. I did buy a H&R Hawk motor to try out. They have similar specs to a NC-1. Stock Carrera front wheels and tires that were trued up and I used a new brand of wheels and inserts on the rear. Wheels are RS Slot and are only $6.29 a set. Inserts are made by EZ Mag and are injected plastic. The chassis is stock except for the parts I had to remove to fit under the Chevy body.

Thanks Bill, it's winging it's way back to Kentucky for the proxy. They were kind enough to let me send it late and even to include me in the first race which has already been run. I'll keep you all posted.
