Here is my Bolink Greenwood Corvette
I screwed up the wheel wells but the next one will look better.

I am painting a TOJ now also.

Also Delta Plastik in Italy has some nice 1/12th bodies,expensive but nice. They are a little different than the Mr Lexan bodies,some of the pictures of the Mr Lexan body molds have taller side wings than what they had. I think Boilink changed some of the molds to make them perform better before Mr Lexan got his hands on them.

One thing about using older bodies is the wheel base and width has changed a bit so do not expect them to drop right on newer chassis cars,a little extra thinking is involved.
