Nice work indeed!

Tip to get bolts with threadlocker unstuck.
Use a solder iron and hold the tip on the bolt head.
The heat from the solder iron will heat up the glue and hopefully loosen it enought to get the bolt out

Same trick can be used to get a counter sunk bolt to sit flush in plastic bits.
Just hold it long enough til the plastic melts and pull the bolt in as long as needed.
A edge around the bolt head is formed due the plastic been forced away from the bolt. Just cut with a knife when finished after cooling down

Thank you ! I'll keep that in mind for my next resto !

Installed all the electronics in the radio box.



Now installed on the chassis







I'm still waiting for a resistor, one was missing, and the new motor with the pinion. That's the reason why all the wires are not connected yet.

On the other hand I received the small M2x5mm hex screws I ordered for the rims. They match perfectly !

Really good build, I love your eye for detail and getting the finish right.

Very nice work, Manotas!
(and I envy your radio box lid with two tabs!)

those two bits on the lid pointing forward.

And are they rare?

Those are tabs mentioned Flo :



It seems that many brake off, I suppose due to miss operation of the owner while trying to open the lid without removing the front cab. I've seen a few where those tabs are off.
