Very nice Don! Can make you a shorty in yellow if you like, or did you "permanently attach"?

Martin do you think it was 2 different molds or maybe the first one was modified to become the second one? I ASSUME the tube frame car was first?? If all this production was done in Japan, probably all the exterior is the same. I haven't had the tube frame car for a long time, so I can do a comparison.

I think the sidewinder came before the iso tube frame.

Sure, the bodies are the same shape. But once you change the chassis mounts the interior and valance it is a new mold with mutable cavities.

Don, your yellow car looks pretty bright, and my first attempt came out pretty lemony, but the second more closely matches the cleaner of my yellow cars. This one has a bubble in it so no-good, but I'll make another tomorrow!
Now I gotta try the pinky/purple!

That Light blue looks really good. May I buy it ? Then I can cut the K&B one off my car.
Nicely done Brad.

Is your blue car the sidewinder or inline version? If sidewinder, I'm going to take a mold of the K&B Lola and then color-match to Cox Lola, so...

I have the inline, nickle plated soldered Gurney frame. When I put the K&B valance on I didn't know any better

You guys are killing me! I've got a couple of the sidewinder blues, a couple pinks, a couple yellows, and had a white years ago, but have never even seen an inline blue! Killing me, but got you both covered!
