For those that don't know, Rare Bear was bought by Rod Lewis following Reno last year. (Yes, that Rod Lewis). I less than a year they have performed a COMPLETE restoration of the popular racer. When I say complete, they did pulled every system, all the wiring, the tail, stripped off years of bondo, and about five paint jobs etc. I think the only thing they didn't do was to pull the wings off the fuse. It's an absolutely amazing job for them to have pulled off, and I am really looking forwad to seeing her race this year. Of course it doesn't hurt that it looks so much like Daryl Greenamyer's Conquest one originally did.
