Some quick chassi modification for the ultimate rideheight.... These Jo-Han chassis isn´t much to talk about, everything is molded in the chassi, rear axle exhaust suspension.... to get it as low as possible i had to remove the transmission crosmember grind a bit on the mufflers and cut up the innerfenders.  |

Interior finished,  And so a question, can´t really decide how i´m gonna do here, i think the rear bumper taillighs (i´ll think it is backuplights) looks kind of boring just painting some grey in them, i were thinking to put some transparent red and make them like four red taillights, any thoughts about that? Problem is there aint no going back when paint is on, been searching the net but havent find any 1/1 car with that solution.  |

From 1962 through 1968 the large taillights on Cadillac cars had clear lenses that looked custom from the factory. I'd keep them that way -- making them red would be a step backward. You could get a different look by grinding out the lenses and the horizontal divider then adding a vertical bar with no lights. It could be empty inside like a jet exhaust. The little red taillights on the fins would be enough.

yeah painting it red would make it look strange, i totally agree.
Hmm jet exhaust maybe, if i did it on the lower lights.. OR maybe i just paint them like they should be looking.
Tonight i tried tinting the windows green, that went like a total disaster, the plastic windows did NOT like the paint i used, see if i can save them, probably i have to make new ones.
