Here is my bf Al

Nice one Flo cheers.
I really like the colour, but I’d have painted the red chassis parts.
I know the box art - red and black works.
But I don’t like the original yellow wheels.

Thanks for posting the pics.
I think I’ll start the resto as box art - so keep the chassis as per the manual.

But when I get to the body, I just don’t know what I’m going to do. But I don’t need to worry about this yet.
🙀

Thanks Al, yup, that's it in a nut shell alright. Sounds like you have plenty of projects for the future. I love my Wild One (re-re), One of my favorite chassis.

Nice BF Flo! I think one of the things that drew my to the King BF was those sweet red wheels as well as the fleetside body. Yellow seems to be a mainstay for Tamiya though, just bought wheels for my Mudblaster and they are yellow ( I think they are BF wheels!)

Yep jim. Mud blaster rims are the same as the bf.

I bought this bf as it is and another one to restore it. The second chassis was crp options equipped, that I put on the first chassis.
I like the color but monster decals are ugly. And the patina has been made with several clear coats. I don't know how to remove all this paint. That's automotive paints.

Sucks! The body doesn't fit.

My VQS 58686 has finally arrived!!!!Very happy to be setting up this build as it will be a runner. Never fortunate enough to have an original but this one looks pretty close to the 1988 version.Here's a few pics guys:

Yeaaaahhhh nice one Jim. Congrats. Write a topic on this built

I like your nascar to.
