Love your work Al. My Cheetah body has all the top complete. Measurements if you need any let me know. Im missing a part of the floors of the body, if you have a extra broken one i am interested.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Mongoose thanks for the great comment.
I haven’t got any spares for the main bits of body.
But never say never. I’m always on the look out, so if I manage to pick something up I’ll let you know.
Do you need the main internal floor or the bulk head behind the driver ?
Thanks again, Al

Hi Grimlock, let me know if you need anything on yours. My second body actually had a windscreen ( the glass bit ), so if you need one I can make one up for you.

Hi,

yes a windscreen is badly needed.

Hi, PM me your address, I’ll send one.

Hi Al, Erich here.
Because of a pretty conspicuous mod most the floor off my Cheetah was severed by the original owner. You can check the pics and story here:

Hi Erich, I remember your original post. Quite an achievement.
Does it help you if I try and remake that part out of plasticard for you. I can copy one of mine.
I’m guessing one or both of these ?

Just a quick update. I've picked out the best of the tyres I had at the time.
And she's a roller.
The steering servo rod isn't correct, I think that's off my old SRB Ford Ranger.
So that will be replaced, but I do like to get a servo attached to keep the steering together.

Which glue do you use on this 30 year old cheetah body?

Hi Martin,
If I’m repairing a break in a piece of plastic I use a 2 part epoxy glue. For fixing bits on you can use modelling poly cement.

Wow this one was started a while ago. So it's time for a bit of an update.

So I rewired the motor, the wires on it were badly soldered.
I also picked the best of the metal bumper brackets, which will need to be sprayed at some point because it's still scratched up at the minute.
And also I put a bumper on. These aren't easy to find. I think I've got 2 of these now after a lot of searching.

Really nice Al
