Biggin's Sammy-ish Build

Did you get that chassis from a guy in richmond ky? It looks just like one that was for sale on craigslist over there. If it is the same guy, I have bought a few parts off of him in the past.

Been awhile since I have had time to work on the rig bu I am starting to get back at it.

What material should I use for the four links? I want to try and keep it as light as possible.

Find me if you are getting rid of the 1.6 8v. I am just down the street.

The T350 is simple cheap and reliable.
