Very nice. Two thumbs up for restoring a classic to R-T-R status. <AC>

interesting story behind that body.
it's a Parma body i bought in i think mid 1999. when i tried to paint it the paint turned rubbery and never fully dried and would peal out. so i backed it with black Krylon which wrecked the lexan. it started cracking apart at the body lines. in 2001 i fixed it with hot glue and put it on a Tower Hobbies ST-15 that got driven maybe twice (never did get it to drive properly). after that it just sat. here's the kicker, i still have the body! for some reason i never threw it away. and i got the idea a while back, i want to fix it with drywall mesh and shoe goo, coat it inside and out with truck bed liner or Plasti Dip or something, rig up some kind of "chassis" for it, put some old wheels/tires under it, drop it in the flowerbed in my backyard and have it as yard art.

I am a huge fan of the vintage Bolink stuff. I think I have 8 of them now. Way cool build dude.
