Great looking bods, John! Love the colors, too, hey! :thumbsup:

As far as your new wheels go, have they been working out ok?
From what I can see, they look good.
Inquiring minds want to know. :)

John's bodies do make great Gassers!!! Here's a couple of old builds from the bodies John sent me. The Moon tank is from the Hot Wheels 37 Gasser and Vincent wheels. Thanks John!!! RM

I did this orange one for myself.

I sent this red one back, I "accidently" put the wrong name on it...

Now I'm definately excited about mine showing up!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Just out of curiosity, thanks to the side by side (or up and down) comparison, did you do a little top chopping on the orange one??
There's a significant difference in passenger compartment height between exhibit A and exhibit B...

Making oversized picture posting reading easier since 2008.. :freak::jest:

Was over at Johns a couple of weeks ago and saw this thing close up. WOW! Hilltop does some nice work and also need to give John some credit for making these up also. They are just neat little Panels man!

Can't wait to do a couple of these up myself and might as well put some Hilltop blowers on them as well. Now the bar has been set so, I better not Fudge my build up. Ooooooooooh the pressure...lol Naw I just want a fun build and with this 53 body you can't go wrong no matter what you do with it.

Bob...do we all just put our names on these and say Randy made them? (LOL)...zilla

Sltman, The resin bodies had a little bits of diffrences in the casting's. Sometimes you have to sand a little further or build back up, to get a smooth look. The red had a bigger blimmish at the windshield and door window openings, if I remeber correctly. I guess I just sanded it out, which made the openings bigger. The red panel has a taller scoop also, which I added, where as I sanded down the orange scoop, for a lower look...RM
P.S. The rear tires on the red is running 24 psi. and the orange is running 26 psi. Didn't know if you caught that :p:p

OK, I gotcha now!! The roof isn't lower, the windows openings are shorter. The red one got a bit more trimming in the openings, is all.. Looks great either way..
