57 Frog Bel Air
My original from new as a christmas present found in the garage after more than 20 years chucked old radio gear and speed controller from sand scorcher and rough rider wheels. not a fantastic job painting shell but my first attempt at a lexan shell I painted the outside because I didn't mind it looking slightly rough & ready although I spoilt the windows pealing the mask of oh well Ill do a better job next time any way Its just a bit of a laugh so watch this space I will take it to a 50s tri chevy meeting that happens once a year in the UK maybe Ill get in for free.

Nice job dude, always great to see something a bit different. And you can't beat the look of a classic chevy. Well Done!!!!

Looks good. You need some Ranger wheels F & R + some of Rad22rad's alloy wheel covers - that would look so sweet!

Looks really sharp, I actually prefer the look of lexan painted outside just like a real car or hard body, Nice work!

Thanks mate That was kind of the intension as I new putting the body on a Frog would make it look like a old Gasser 60 70s style Rod thats my excuse anyhow.
Not Ranger wheels, this demands Centerlines !!!!!

It surely has the look of a 1960's street machine as the chassis sat up high with the wheel combo.. Cool and unique

Have a hunt round the 'Bay for CRP rims for a Scorcher or Rough rider, they will give you a similar look to Rad's alloy's
