HI!... Got this Tamiya FALCON for dirt cheap off of Ebay. I'm going to restore this one as well to original condition. I pulled the body off and got a bonus. Full Novak Receiver and ESC inside with a vintage battery. :mrgreen:

HI!... Well some parts came in for the "FALCON" today. Just waiting on my NIP wheels.tires to show up from Spain! :mrgreen:

HI!... Got the Body cut out today. Will be painting soon. :mrgreen:

HI!... Well I got the body all painted up and the decals on.

HI!... Well got the "FALCON" put together tonight. I rebuilt the gearbox and installed all new sealed bearings. Most of it is new. chassis, gear box cases, rear trailing arms, upper/lower front "A" arms, bumper. Still waiting on the new rear/front wheels/tires to show up. Then the rebirth will be complete. :mrgreen:

Nice resto!

Will this be a runner or a shelfer?

HI!... This will be a shelf queen. I now have the rear wheels/tires installed. The only thing I need to complete it is the front wheels/tires. I bought a set from Japan on EBAY but I'm afraid I got ripped off. It's been 43 days and nothing. Seller won't return my multiple PM's. So I filed through EBAY against him and left him negative feedback. So now I'm on the hunt for NIP front wheels/tires.

That sucks!
I hope you get that resolved soon.

The front wheels/tyres come up quite frequently on eBay.
The rears are harder to come by, and more expensive.
But you already have that sorted!

HI!... Well I finally got some NIP wheels/tires.

Well I finally got some electronics installed and the driver properly painted up. Here's a few pics :
