Rate my Frankencar and help me ID it. Here's what I know:

The only labels or mfg. marks are on the motor and electronics.
The motor is a UMC era Dymond Gold Label 907.
Futaba 75MHz Wide Band AM radio gear.
It has a Diablo shell that never had a rear wing.
Inch spec hardware, so made in USA.
The chassis is a blue fiberglass sheet.
Front axles are 1/8 inch, rears are 5/16 or 4mm.
Does not use hex-drive wheels.
Rear wheels have two lug bolts for keying to the hub, along with the axle nut.
Original front suspension in foreground. Broke the other one. Do replacements exist?

Obviously, the camera, headlight, front bumper and front axle assy were added by me.

The radio and motor both date to the early 1990s. The front suspension assemblies show up
on numerous vintage cars from that era including some from Team Assciated. Does anyone know anything
about this rolling nightmare? More info or pix on request, of course.
