Well...............Richard wanted to play the game so, I hooked him up today. Another winged car got a nose job and chassis swap. I went ahead and fine tuned the wheels today on 3 cars. I think they turned pretty good. I do have original factory copies set aside, so I'm just having a creative moment.
I simply sprayed the cb wheels with a solid color, and then use the tire razor to spin the wheel as I applied a cotton swab with alcohol to remove the paint from the outer edge of the rim. The result............... Beauty rings.
Again , sorry Ramo

Does this mean that for each of those very nice wingless stock cars you now have a matching faceless (no grille) body? I'd like to do the same but don't want to orphan a chassis and body to do do.

Yes Slothead I'm sorry I do..
The left over bodies can be painted up as fairground racers, or sportsmen series or whatever. I have cut thin k&s tin for grills, and it makes for an interesting look. No light's, just a piece of tin for a grill.

I can probably sell the faceless bodies, but I always feel I can make something out of them. The trade off for me is having something different, and that means a lot to me
btw I found some resin grills in my stash if you are interested. I got them from smilin Rays a few years back I think I had $10 in a grill/front bumper set.

I may have a few resin copies left of the RR front grill and bumper.
