I found a Deal Wheels 57 Chevy in a box of parts , most of it was missing and lots of glue damage . I used part of the chassis for my Car-toon Corvette gasser , leaving me just the body , interior panel and the figure. I remembered the Jim Croce song ( Rapid Roy that stock car boy ) ,And had an Idea .Just getting a start on it,glued a couple of old slicks together for the rear tires .Not sure what all I'm going to do to it ,but I will try to add all the little details from the song.   |

Thank you ! the rims are just Amt stock car rims , the rears I added the outside lip of set of Revell funny car rims so they would fit the widened slicks and I used the centers out of a Revell sprint car kit. |
