It would be nice to see some parachutes in their "deployed" mode-

That would make for other interesting display possibilities...

I have plastic opened parachute set from a HW dragster combo that would make good custom fodder.




Cheers..

VJ - I looked everywhere and couldn't find the chutes. Sorry. Maybe I saw them on eB@y too. I thought whoever had them had hood scoops as well.

actually, remember Bruce from Bad Dog resins? Well, I emailed him and he's going to make me up 20 of them.

Thanks for the info everyone!

I just got done decaling these. They came from bnbgoodoes. I am very pleased with them.

Beautiful job on the bods!
Be very careful though. The vic is a VERY fragile body, eh.
I dropped one of mine from 1' to the bench and the roof came off.
(I made a repair but lost one of the mid roof pillars, eh. Now it is open front to back and still looks good.)

Thanks. I glued the windows in on the top and around the base of each window to give the roofs added support. I do this with many of my cars rather than depending on the pillars alone.

They're made for Tyco pan. I'll drop one on top of a T-jet tonight and post a pic so you can decide.

Hey Joe... if you want to "toughen" those bodies up. Mix up a little clear expoxy and piant the underside of the body with a thin coat. It makes a world of difference.

I'll be dinged!
Now why the heck I didn't think of doing that, eh?
Thanks for the heads-up! :thumbsup:

vaBcHRog,

Here's how it looks sitting on a JL T-Jet chassis. The rear of the chassis would have to be shortened to get it lower. I think it might look pretty good on a Hot Rod chassis.
