ratnasty Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hi guys awhile back I did a 68 Color Me Gone body and wasn't happy with it and I a guy offered me stupid money for the body.When I did the other body I was in such a hurry I forgot to shave off the the front turn signals on the lower valance and make the front spoiler and I put the wrong decal on the front fender that said Rodger Lindamood , I put red instead of black but I found a photo that showed Gold with a black outline ,so I'm starting over . Here is the old body. Edited January 11, 2013 by ratnasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratnasty Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 The front suspension towers and upper shock bracket are from a Polar Lights Charger , motor plate is a resin on I casted and the motor mount brackets are 90 degree Evergreen strips. The front shocks are modified from a set I got from Scott and mounted with RB Motion hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
