How about a red GraveDigger with black pin stripes in the long XL sized version?
It just says 5.9 on the headlamps, that chassis has my modded Picco on board.

Is the Grave Digger body a Chevy or Ford?

I just finished an orange one, the light outside is gone. My faithful home protection unit is taking care of business.... that would be Sir...
I plan to run them with just the grill area cut out to see if enough air gets through. If not, I will figure out another relief area someplace. Bud

I did the high speed lid skid on my Blazer and ground into the body posts far enough to eject the body clips before it stopped... it was pretty ugly... Bud

I don't know if Velcro would hold up on a hard roll or slide. I guess you could try it though...............

I think ten bodies for eight trucks, not counting the original ones.
I just got an early 50s Chevy to replace my Blazer. I broke out a scotchbrite and smoothed a lot of the roof down some on the Blazer, it has taken abuse very well!

Those Mr.Clean sponge/eraser things are pretty good at taking asphalt rash off the bodies.

I wanted to burn nitro today, but other obligations kept me around the house, so I added a little paint to the new skin for the X. Bud
I am trying to decide whether or not to cut it deeper for a lower stance. It looks jacked up too high to me!

Those are the stock RTR 4.6 tires and wheels. I was trying to avoid cutting deeper into the body for body strength. To get down over the roll cage, I would have to cut farther up the back of the cab.

Looks awesome! Mine sits high too............nothing you can do about it because the running board hits the pipe. I don't think this body was designed for the Savage, but rather the Maxx series of trucks. The only option I have found is to chop the boards off. I decided to not do that.

Should be easy to see in the daylight!
To answer a previous question, I have been using green 3M automtive masking tape. Bud

That is a killer looking FORD Lol. I got a stiffy for stripes too. [X(] LMAO I like that job!
I want to pick up a new body soon.... (a new one for me, a new one for my son) and see what I can do with my air brush.

Gravedigger I LOVE the look that body sets off. Looks great with that wheel and tire set-up.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
