Panther X entry

[john phippen]

Besides the Simplex I'm going to enter a Panther X into the build off. Bought the bare chassis from Chuck G. and have been amassing piece. Here's where we're at so far. John

            A few more pix. I know you can't really read the sign but it says Jan 31st 2016. Some more parts came this week and I've got the wheels done. I'll post more pics soon.

         [attachment=55] The wheels are almost done. When I get new rubber from Vintage Speed I'll complete the assembly with hardware. One pic shows my homemade wheel spinner. Just and old swing mount mounted upside down with a short piece of axle. I use a no-good hub and mount the wheel halves on it and spin and polish.Some new parts arrived today,tank,mount kit, and nerf bushings.
