I've had this body for years, was on the phone with someone that said "I wish Pro-Line would've made the 2 door instead of the 4 door."
I swore I had a 2 door around here somewhere.
I think Parma made these, anyone remember for sure?

I hadn't even thought about looking for bolink.com. I just assumed it'd be gone.
(welcome to the forums, BTW)

from what I heard Bolink suffered a catastofic fire and the insurance wouldn't cover. I don't think it could have been chapter 11 since their Legend series was a huge hit with the club racers, since they're coming back I may just have to twist my arm to get one.

I heard that the owner of the company gave it to his son or somehow his son got ahold of it and he ran it into the ground.

did a quick search and I found this on another forum
Here it is straight from the owner!
I wanted to let everyone know that after many months of sleepless nights and LONG chats with the wife we have decided that the best thing for me right now is to get out of the RC ownership role due to health reasons. This was a very hard decision but one that had to be made... things had gotten better for me but after a change in Meds I was back to getting nothing done and screwing things up and it was time to put a stop to it.
The Cap Tire part of RACEtech may already be sold... if the deal isn't made it will be on the market, I hope I can sell it to someone in RC so they can keep it going.
The Bolink Bodies~ The molds that were still any good have been sold and the new owners hope to have their business up in running in the next 2 months, that is all I can say about that because they have asked me to keep in quite for now.
Legends, Sprint Car, Entry Level Oval car, and Rodster~ The rights and left over inventory is also being sold and they should hit the market under new ownership within the next 4-6 months, there is lots to get done with that change over, instructions/box lables/parts etc..
We are also having a BIG "Yard Sale" the weeekend of Feb 15th tring to make as much money as we can for the courts to pass on to our creditors so come on down and lets make a deal! lol
I am sorry some of ya'll had to hear about this this way. There are already MANY rumors flying around about all this, I have a good idea on who is starting them and he really needs to get a life and stop running his mouth.
If anyone has an order inhouse that never got shipped and they still want it or if there is any products that someone would like to order (if we have it in stock) please send an email to HobbyOrders@aol.com.
I am not going anywere... infact I am planing to race and have fun this year. I have sent my sponsorship app to Hyperdrive and KSG looking for a ride but I don't think I have a very good chance, LOL!
See ya'll at the track!!

doing some further reading I found out that they did have a fire just not as big as I'd heard, that big yard sale that was mentioned in the above post didn't get enough money to satisfy the creditors and chapter 11 was forced, the Bolink name and products were tied up in the courts so that is why it took a bunch of years to comeback under new owners.

Hate to rake the the dead. But, could anyone give we the specs on that power wagon body? I think it looks as though it may fit my stick clod with out rubbing if I cut the fenders off.
