Default Enjoying my CR-01

Good bit of work to put this kit together but it was worth it. I really enjoy looking at the CR-01s on this forum so here are a few pics of mine. I hope you guys enjoy them.

Thx guys. Quick note, I lowered the body one hole on the posts and haven't run into any tire rub (I haven't done the rear suspension mod yet). The stock mounting height didn't look good IMO.

I like the gold color too. Which exact gold paint did you use?

Finally got around to doing some easy mods that I've seen on other CR-01 threads. I repositioned the rear shocks to get full travel in the back and ditched both the front and rear sway bars. In order to keep it stable side to side I filled all four shocks with 60 wt oil. I had to chop the body a little to clear the tires, I think it looks better now than before. It's a much more capable cruiser!
