Hee hee.. Grasshopper, eh?! If you are going w/ Grasshopper, I'd go w/ the Hornet instead.. it is basically the same thing but with lexan body, 540-motor (instead of 380), live axle, oil shocks on the back.. just a better car...

Join the vintage parade, man!!

You'll have fun with it. It's awesome on shorts grass or dirt. Spring is the prime time for running the frog

I will mess around w/ the front oil shock conversion.. hee hee..

Other than the shock tower, did you get the screw kit?

Any idea what the rear shock mount is for?

Hmm.. so if you take a look at the screw kit above in the link, you need that too, right?

Very nice, I can watch this one until I get the Brat.

BTW, fix the thread title while you still can. You are missing the R in "strikes"

1/16 scale Frog.. I wonder if these are any good.. how well it will stack up to a Mini-T, for example...
