I'd like to get your opinions please. Thanks If that was my build, I’d drop the nose to where the top of the wheel arch just meets the top of the wheel, like it does at the rear. But…it’s not my build, so as you were! 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspective Customs Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thanks for the input Jim. dropping the front end would certainly give it a more aggressive look but this one will sit at stock ride height all around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get your opinions please. Thanks Like the stock look. I used to do the service work on a Rebel model during the late '60's. The owner had ordered it with a 290 V8 and a 4-speed. A lot faster than you would think and road manners to match. Resist the urge to put a vinyl roof on this and make it a solid color. His was sort of a dark turquoise. Maybe Google the 1:1 and look at what the color pallet offered at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thinking about turquoise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Need to order a clear body to chop up for a fenderless build, but I’m digging the more tuner-ish rolling stock from the Supra GR version of this chassis already, should look better in a darker color and with the fenders chopped off😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Parts are in and here’s where I am at now with the above Traxxas Factory Five Hot Rod😁 with those fenders gone, it’s starting to look like a real hot rod now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatMan Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I took the time to look through all of the posts in this thread and feel like it represents the dreams, imagination, and skills of the folks in this forum. Great stuff. That said, here's my modest contribution. The original plan was to add a blower but decided against it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
