I thought so...But i wasn't gonna assume...While i was bidding on it i sent the guy message asking if it really was a light gold...We all know how pictures sometimes don't tell the full truth...And he replied with a yes...And i jumped on it...It came out of Kansas...He bought it wanting to restore it and just didn't have the time...Gonna order a 55 Nomad body for it...Make it into a hotrod...

rem 8 and 1/8 inches to be exact. You could make a gasser!
Tough finding bodies that tuck the tires on the rc10. A friend gave me one, a 911 body.

A gasser would be cool...Back then they used airshocks and 50 series tires that stuck out...The kind of look i was going for...Old school 50' s thru 70's era hot rod...Reuse the jellybeans because they kinda remind me of mag wheels...

Slow and steady wins the race...These came with one of the cars that i bought...Decided to put them on and they look great...On a scale of 1-5 i would give the rims a 4...Would luv to have a matching set of fronts...

Take a look at the HPI '68 Camaro...The rear wells are flared a bit.
