    I bought a 72 comet johan model car thats kinda beat up but i can make look good. Ive been wanting to get one for a long time, but they go for alot on ebay. But i think i got this one for a good deal. Ive heard some poeple on here say they would like to see a maverick or comet RC car. So i decided to make one.
    I dont know if anyone on here has ever heard of an xmod. There a radio controled car maid by radio shack. I plan on using the chassis off my xmod and mounting the comet to it. Ive done this to many of other model cars, and theres a xmod forum, where everyone does this.

    I fanily got it in the mail today and started working it. Heres pics of how it look when i first got it.

    Ya, the only hard part is mounting the front on. The rear is a peice of cake.

    Your myspace is on private or some thing.
