FuglyCool cars must be based on 1/32 RTR body and plastic chassis, and Mac, I'd like to have a crack but I do have a problem with your 1st rule. a) Does the chassis have to be the original or original replacement eg Shapeways or can it be a modified chassis originally from a different model? b) I've read a bit about popsicle stick chassis' lately and would like to have a crack at one of those. Would that be acceptable? c) I've read a bit about 2 motors in a car recently, which I think is a pretty cool idea, and I'd like to have a crack at that too. Is that acceptable?

Capri-corn7 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I was struggling to find a suitable donor car but then I got a lead on a bit of a barn find. Needed a bit of hand dragging her out of the container. She's pretty rough. No motor, rot in the pillars....
