HI!... I picked up this original Hotshot off Ebay about a week ago. Got it for a good price. Got lots of extras with it as well. Enough to build about 85-90% of a 2ND Hotshot. lol! It's missing a few things like front bumper, window netting etc. I've already got a NIB set of wheels for it. This one will be restored and be another shelf queen.

HI!... Well my new re-po body from TBG showed up today. Also got a set of vintage original HOTSHOT decals. Just waiting for a bunch of parts to show up so I can start this restoration.

HI!... Well I started to work on this on the weekend. It's really messed up. Anyway here is as far as I have got so far.

HI!... Well I got some more work done. I still need to find a NIP mechanism box due to the two I have are massively scratched up. Just found out too, the the MSC aluminum mounting plate is missing. Previous owner just had the servo taped to the box. The actual MSC was flopping around when they were running the car.

HI!... Well the NIP front suspension arms finally showed up.

HI!... Well I got the front gear box put together. I polished the aluminum axles and the aluminum shock body/swaybar/mounts. Just painted the driver on the chassis and waiting for it to dry before I go any further.

HI!... Well I got a bunch more done on the HotShot. Still need to paint the body and apply the vintage decals. And get some NIP tires.

HI!... Well I got the new body finally painted.

Why did you buy a repro body when you can easly find a cheap original one?
