I know it!  I saw that pic of yours, while I was building mine, and was like "that's about how it will look".  You still have that one?

Sorry, no.  It is in Eagle Heaven for the most part. The subframe lives on in the '85 Sport "Big Wheel". The diffs and engine were sold, some parts saved, the rest scrapped (not worth saving).

When tested on the small ramp you said you thought it could go further and would test it out on the longer ramp.  Did you ever get a chance to do that?  any pics?  Thanks DroolinPhill

You know I found some early 80's ranger rims that look like a pretty good imitation except they don't have the covered centers> There's a set on ebay now. Kind of look just like the ones on your eagle the way it is in the pic

I put the nicer wheels on it, that's about it.  Been driving the thing like crazy.  It's a pleasure to drive.
