Is this one going to be a shelfer, runner, or basher (racer)? Nice job on the paint.

Another DS 2" wheels "ENJOY GUYS"

[scottmac74]

Hey Jonny! Is that thing an IROC or RS? All you need now is a satin jacket and feathered hair, then you can hang out in the bowling alley parking lot

Nice job...how does it drive?

[rc10johnny]

Scott, IROC cant ya see the 16" rims Its a little lazy on the git go,but works for me since i'm such a lousy Pilot. I built it to match the IROC I had a couple a years ago. I have one more chassis to make my present car,a GTP ,I may put the HG wheels on it but would really like the alum rims in BST would look killer. Thanks Guys Johnny

I thought it was an IROC, but I figured I should ask anyway Did you pick out a GTP body yet? The narrow ones for the 10LSS fit pretty well, I set my Bolink 97 NASCAR Monte Carlo (from my 10LSS project) on the DS and it won't take much to get it to work.

For mine, I am going with the 200mm HPI Merc CLK GTR, #7046 (after I perform the Topper K wheel conversion). Since it has the D2 paint scheme, similar to the DS merc body (but @ 1/4 the cost) and I am a big fan of LeMans GT class cars.

GTP body painted and ready to mount,I also have some Bolink street tires/wheels,but the HG's look betta,but no tires.

Scott that is a killer car ya got there!!!!!!!

I had no idea I collected so much DS NIP parts "3" is enough for me

[rc10johnny]

Heres my Poser, GTP looks terrible in the pic!!!!!

[rc10johnny]

NAKED

[scottmac74]

That pic of the CLK GTR is from the HPI website, (I stole it to compare/show its a little different than the CLK DTM body I have for my RS4 project). When I get it mounted and painted it will be identical except for the wheels. The rims I plan to use on the DS will be like these on my RS4 (straight racing tires/rims), I may change the color

[scottmac74]

Oops! I thought you meant an IMSA GTP body That looks similar to my Bolink.
