please help me with car/body identity

Post by crazy nick »

I have this modified body from the '80s. I am trying to figure out what car it was drilled for. The rear 2 holes are 1 7/8" center and from front hole to rear is 10 1/4. I know its a long shot but i d like to build a car to put this body on ie frog, hornet, grasshopper ect....

Parma Mud Bus

Looks like it was mounted on an RC10 and the wing tubes were used as the rear body mounts.

You guys mount boys on your chassis? :shock: TMI alert. :lol: And where there is a rear boy, there is a front boy....do they face each other or not?

if the rc10 idea doesn't pan out you can always do a custom body mount setup to make holes meet the marks. Would be a cool body to run/display...

I'm guessing the body was mounted like a giant wing...with wire and wing buttons.
