I nick named this one "Hooligan", 'cause it just looks like its up to no good.
These Charge-N-Go bodies aren't very accurate, but then neither are the German ones. I thought with a little finnese it could be pretty smooth, and I think I was right.
Shaved off the bottom part of the trim, so its just the top trim line.Tab lowered it, and painted the body ultra flat black. Then I added a lot of hand painted chrome trim, Had some extra Super Bit wheels. I stretched some front Tomy pullback tires over the back, and the Charg-N Go tires in the front. I'm really happy with this one, I think it looks really evil.

Awww damn! that flat-black is sweeeeet!
It reminds me of that old assed movie, with the car that was possessed by the devil (or whatever) and went around killin people (because they didn't know how to actually run to the left or right).

Nice shoebox chevy! Looks really sweet with the suede paint! And the paint REALLY works using those rims, they look like some Weld racing did a while back.
Is that a cowl hood I see? More pics with more lighting!!!

Namuna, the movie "Christine" ? Featuring a red Plymouth Fury, and a whole bunch of B-rate actors who never made it. A guy buys used car, restores it, gets beaten up and car destroied. At night the car goes out and kills people, then repairs itself and is back to new by morning.

This body came in 2 slight variations. I believe its the 49mhz with the hood.
I'll see what I can do about the lighting after work today. It should look good in the sunlight, this Spas-Stix chrome paint is really reflective.

Here's another pic in the sun. In the sun you can see some red around the edges, you can't even see that in room lighting, weird. Oh well, that's what they made fine tip Sharpies for.

Awesome ride CD! The flat black makes it quite evil looking. Definitely up to no good.

yeah, great ride man. The flat black really sets it.
For quite a while I'm thinking on what to do with that body(i got one too).
Got to think some more...
Great inspiration!
