Default JG Optima Mid Truck Conversion
Just got my hands on this sweetness:

John Gudvangen #1518 Optima Mid Monster Truck Conversion Kit for Blackfoot Rims and Tires

Perfect winter project for the october/november-ish. My plans is to build a fiber glass mid (john guvangen style) and use this conversion on it. A month ago I bought a new built Ferrari F40 that is going to be the donor car.


How it arrived


Scanned add from RC Car Action 1987
