Hi everyone, just detailed the rear skid of a summer Spitfire project sled. Something doesn't seem quite right with the rear A arm. Either my shock may not have enough travel or I'm curious if the steel limiter notch is on the correct side of the sleeve that mounts in front of the rear bogey wheels/...

Today I finished up a small modification that I may or may not use, it remains to be seen how this will work out in the end. But with the fragility of the direct drive track in mind, I cut the lugs off one of the old drivers, smoothed it up and paired it with a pair of steel lock collars. The inten...

It's all about the little things. Nice touch!

Negative. Unfortunately the console was cracked into a number of pieces, had to scrap.

Hello, unfortunately the driveshaft, and drivers already gone. Thanks for the interest. Good luck in your continued search!

Anyone ever cut into a Spitfire exhaust? Curious if the muffler is wide open or has a ported center tube with packing material or baffles, etc.

Let me know if anyone has any insight, thanks!

Left and right side belly pans/side panels. Overall in fair->good shape. Two small cuts in the exhaust hump area otherwise, no major scratches or dents on clutch side. A good set as needed for spares or a wrecked sled.

Battery box, wiring harness and engine fan shroud sold. Thanks Keith!

Let me know if anyone is looking for parts. Happy to help work with you on items, as available.

I had a stubborn one in a Spitfire all corroded to hell and back. Curious of the muriatic acid method, I will look into. 10 plus years ago, before all these gre...

Anyone have a solution for pesky stuck rear skid aluminum shafts? Please send me a link if you find anything. I would think this would be a viable topic for some tricks of the trade

Have tied for 20 years. Have a ton of supplies and materials that I have inherited from other family members and friends. Let me know if you ever need anything!

Awesome stuff! Look forward to seeing your progress on these!

Looking great! Definitely lucked out with the seat foam. Any trick to removing the old cover from the foam or did it just come right off carefully peeling away?
