TRC / CC Pro 10 Box Art Body?
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2023 3:00 pm
I am quarantining at the moment, so today's stay-at-home project was to put together an almost-NIB Pro 10x (non Elite). It was complete except for most of the contents of Bag 5 (rear drive shaft / diff components) were missing. Not a biggie, just gathered up some Bolink components and it is good enough.
I am thinking about taking a whack at making this a box art car, with cut vinyl making up the grid portion, and just making my own decals for majority of the rest. I was hoping that I would have a body sitting around that would work, but no such luck. So, if I have to order something, I might as well get it as close to the box body as possible.
My best guess for the body is a ~90ish, maybe 92ish, Pontiac Grand Prix Nascar body? The lower air intakes on the front kinda stick out. Bolink made (and Sabula sells) multiple versions of the "Pointer" variant of body, based on bodies from from 1988 - 1997. The '88 version lines up the best with the CC box IMO. But the issue I run into is dimensions. Most of the Bolink bodies are ~9" wide, and the rear of my car is 9.25" at the wheels and the chassis side pods. The '97 Pointer gets close to that, but the front end design is too far off.
So, anyone have recommendations for a body that would fit, preferably a Pontiac Nascar variant? I know some of the kits came with a body, but I think CC only refers to it as a Nascar body, so a bit too generic. I also haven't seen, what I know to be, a body that came with the kit, so I can't confirm how much of the front design details actually match the box body.
