Here are some pictures of my latest Ultima restoration. Unfortunately, this build went really quick and I didn't take any pictures of the progress. All I have is the original before picture:
Before:
I added a new cage and cleaned up a slightly used body. Under all of that dust and dirt, it was actually in near mint condition. I had a set of wheels and tires from another lot that completed the build.
After:
Here it is next to my shelfer:
Regards,
Roger

Very nice car! The red trim in the paint job goes nicely with the original Ultima shocks. I love the green one too.

Lol. I said the Ultima would be jealous, not the wheels
Best $50 I have spent!

The green body is actually a proline butterfly with the sides cut off. It was a new body, but the previous owner packed it badly and one of the sides got crushed during transit
I decided to chop off the sides and it looks pretty decent.
I need to put some work into that car because the runner (blue) looks better than the shelfer.
