I have question, though. What can I use to make the body posts with?

Thanks Bibbster. I like that idea and I will try it out.
ShotgunDave, I am going to keep the livery as is. This is an attempt to get a wider variety of Group 5's into our club, and I am too impatient to wait for Sideways to come up with the BMW.

Is the Capri chassis a good fit for BMW? Just curious as to how close it is. I have to admit that is a great idea for that car. I'm going to keep an eye on this build. :)

Oh yeah! Looks like it will fit just fine. I just dug my 2 BMW's out this morning. May just have to try this. :)

Yes! I like the two rod approach. I will try various methods, like the wall plug, two rod and lollypop stick (maybe with an outer tube).

I got my Capri chassis ordered and I'm ready to start on this build. The livery will be the Jagermeister one. Not sure about wheels yet, but I'll get it figured out. :) Your livery is one of 1900, so it's not real common. 8-)

I discovered the Racer Sideways BMW M-1 chassis will work under the 320 too. That widens the choices for a chassis. 8-)

Valie,that's looking good. Should run and handle much better than it did as a Revo-Gram car. I'm getting my things together for my build, but it may take a few days. Had to order some goodies for it. I may do a fantasy livery instead of the Jagermeister. I have found a Fruit of the Loom car I forgot I had, so I may strip it and repaint. :)
