Default zippos neverending project 5b

This thing has been a long time since i started to "freshen" it up. main thing thats taken so long with this project is i decided to do some painting on this. did all the proper steps to get good adhesion of paint on the parts. deanodized, "keyed" surface, adhesion promoter, etc.
Finally have started making some good progress over the past week. its really starting to shape up. But still have a small piece or 2 to finish up. But on to some pics.
















been clearing over the past day or so. just waiting on this clear to dry then polish and clear some more. anyway, heres some update pics.





Lots of new parts to put once once paint is done and I start assembly.
comments and questions welcome. Thanks.

[

alright, it is cleared. once this dries, do the final polish and on to assembly







and here's the rest of the upgrades going on this
turtle racing heavy duty front brace, rear plate, quick diff, enclosed clutch system w/ 1 piece brake.
killer cables, ssss pull cable, and kill switch
hostile boots
phat dad engine brace kit
dark soul dogbones
30.5 esp ported w/ mm stroker crank and outerwears
heavy duty drive cups on trans
new ss shocks with outerwears
proline under tray and desert rat body
ddm aluminum gas cap

i know i have some more parts somewhere as i have a new in line fuel filter for added protection, and a new servo. time to look around for them as i cant find my radio box either.....

lol, definitely a big beast. from when i got it from you there is very little still original. lol. i think the transmission, for the moment, will still have original hardened gears but going in turtle quick diff, throttle linkage (for the moment) and engine case (upgraded crank and piston / cylinder and carb.) is original gas tank and radio box. lol . have upgraded pretty much everything as a result of different issues. had a bad cartwheel once and destroyed front end, roll cage, and bent front of chassis, and had some issues with some of the rear a arms, they got replaced.
