Zipper Top Proxy

No I don't think a chassis was ever sold seperatly. Best bet is to pick up a used car.

Well you could put a feeler in the BST FORUM. Someone might just have what you need in their parts bin :pray:

I really should enter a car in this. This proxy is my kind of proxy. Why does life have to make me so busy! Either way I cant wait to see some of these built.

Revell 59 Impala in yesterday - man , that's a nice little kit ! Now - to chrome or not to chrome ?

Some cars kept the trim while others removed it and simply had a stripe. Others kept the side trim on and just painted over it.

I really do not think there is a wrong way to do it. I like using Krylon silver for most of my bumpers. It makes it look better to me, more worn in.

But it's all personal preference. Good luck with your kit.

A shot of Rex White's 59 showing the rear cover and sides. Small holes still can be seen where the trim was popped off.

I also ended up with one of these as a backup option...uncertain of the exact scale yet:

Just outstanding. What a great looking slot car.

Glad I didn't buy one of those Gunze kits - looks like they're going to be well-represented.

What kind of weight are people expecting to end up with for this kind of car? I'm supposing the ballpark is about 100-125 grams - a bit more than my Pony Wars car?

That is just beautiful

The mold for my body should be finished tonight. So hopefully I can get a test run cast.
