I got a bargain on five of them (a guy with a golf cart parts business had them for $15 each, NIB), then again on two more, and have been using the chassis for all kinds of stuff. I repainted two of them and race tuned one in Scaley's livery. The rest of the bodies are still in the parts box. I never thought about doing a bomber version, but it sure fits the bill, doesn't it? Funny about that car, it shouldn't handle the way it does at all, being long and relatively narrow with a heavy body, but right from the box that ugly thing runs great. I always thought that was the ugliest version of the Torino Ford ever did, and the sales agreed with me, but I forgot all about it when I ran a Truxmore for the first time. I wish I could find another stash of them to get cheap.
Are you going to go all out on this paint job, Dave? You sure can do it, that's for sure.
