Great job so far! It's cool to see a retro car brought back to life. Can't wait to see more.

Cleaned and buffed the windows. The stains couldn't be removed with just soap so I had to rub it down with buffing compound and a buffing machine. Before:   After   Sprayed 5 layers*of clear gloss top coat.    Will wet sand and buff tomorrow once the clear coat is cured and do the window side panels, mpulding, grill, door handles and rear plate garnish with flat black. Then install the lights. |

WOW! Fantastic job on the body! It turned out great. Nice detail on the black trim and the lenses for the lights. Nice metallic flake, I didn't notice that before.

| Re: My late dad's CC01 re-build
So I've had this pair of shock mounts since last March and I have never really decided whether to use it or not.  I was contemplating on creating holes on the rear part of the chassis to install this but the 100mm shocks doesn't need to stretch out in the back like it needs in front. But since the original mount of the CC01 is plastic, I decided to use this aluminum mounts and place it sideways. In that way, it can be adjusted to many setting. Forward, backward, higher or lower. The result is great.    I also installed strut bars using some spare adjustable links I had, front and rear. It actually helped a lot in stiffening the chassis.

Bought new sets of 100mm (grey) and 110mm (blue) shocks to replace the front dampers. The middle one is the nicest of the three. Better rebound and very smooth damping.   |

The ESC and servo are waterproof but the RX isn't. So I ordered a case for the RX and fabricated a new ESC tray from a 2mm carbon fiber plate. Re-arranged the wires and concealed what I could to make it look cleaner.   |

Went crawling today with the bigger crawlers (Axial, Traxxas, AE, etc). My CC01 was surprisingly good. Although it couldn't crawl up the very steep areas but it still manage to get to most areas in the mini mountain.              |
