I don't know the real thing very well.
What is wrong with the proportions? I take it the shocks are oversized, anything else?

You would have a very large body with very short legs to be able to fit the cage if it were a real car fitted with a motor...then again the motor would be further forward in a real car...

And you wouldn't have a battery under your hiny

This isn't exactly true. The seating position in a "real" sprint car is very upright. Your feet are almost directly below you as opposed to streached out like in most cars. When I first saw the real deal I couldn't imagine how one could drive in that position!

A midget is even more compact than a sprinter. That's why most of those guys average around 5' 6".

What body is that. and hey put some sound picks when u finally crank up that engine

The body is the Silver Bullet from McAllister...not on their site anymore you need to ask for it....

Stormer has the Gambler and Silver Bullett in stock.

After hunting around for a body to fit my sprint car this body set came up on ebay...so I just had to bid on it...sorry to anyone else who had their eye on it...

i saw that body set on there. hope it fits for you. yesterday i just picked up some parts for my bolink spring car. wont be long until i'm done with mine. anyway back on topic. what are your plans for paint?

Any idea who made the body?

...I've really got no idea..been thinking of fluro orange, black and chrome...but not too sure. I now have 4 bodies, so I might paint the wings a solid color and the bodies different colors...it's something that I've been putting off for awhile now but it's got to be done..soon..

No idea at all...I think it might be from the original BBT car but not 100% sure..the front part looks right but the tail..I'm not so sure about..

Get that bad boy painted up and post some pics. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

This seems to be taking forever but at last I have the right body...the last body I bought which I also thought was the right one is away getting painted in a mystery paint job...something to do with lots of flames and chrome...anyway the new body is exactly the same as the original in almost every detail...I say almost because some trimming lines are missing. The best bit has to be the driver figure...he looks like he should be in a fighter jet but he still looks at home inside the car. I'm thinking of going to paint this body in the Quaker State colors...what do you guys think?
