Super Nova

I love this casting, just not the wheels in this case. So, I had to lower it a bit. Just wasting time on a Sunday morning with my coffee.

I've never actually had a Johnny Lightning apart before.. What do you do to the axles and framework on the inside of the casting to alter the car's stance like that? Just in case I want to try customizing some on my own.

Those are some really nice pics PMS485. It to is one of my new favorites. Would love to see this casting as a GASSER. I really think with all the great new castings in recent years. That JL/RC2 could come up with a killer release(The Willy's are getting lonely). Even a PIP weekend racer version would be the S#$%. Use the Dart casting too.

I think those Weld Prostar wheels look real nice on that Nova. Just my 2 cents!
