Doh ! wrong again :LolLolLolLol: . It just looked a little inset :-[. Like them all set up like that , which is the next project ? maybe we can follow progress ? .

The only single gusset DB is the Mini/Pit Viper.That thing is tiny. :laugh:
A closer look at both.
As far as what's next on the build list,that depends on what I can find.
When you have this many whatever you come across cheap,that's the order of the build list. :laugh:
Every one in the group pic is a survivor & needs a facelift,except the red/gold complete Mini & the 79 Pro f/f,those are Total NOS. :smitten:
The 78 is beat up pretty good. :'(

That red and gold mini is a beaut. Nice change of colour scheme for a DB.

Yes.......the early DB's (77,78,79) came in 4 different colors of f/f sets. :shocked:
White,Blue,Red & Black,DB chose to loose the white & black f/f colors starting with the 80 lineup leaving red,blue or chrome as your only choice.
Then of course chrome became the only choice til the Turbo & Turbo Lite came out,the only other colored f/f was the Super Viper & Super Streak & the one year wonder "Grey Turbo". :laugh:

Grey turbo? got any pictures of that Ken?
-
I think so,I'll have to look around.
Somebody in the U.K. had one on the bay last year,he wanted a mint for it & it never sold.I don't know if he's a member here or not,if so then I'm sure he'll see this thread & post some pics but I'll still look for mine. :daumenhoch:
