My latest spray can work.... Its a spray of dark grey backed by bright red to give this a slight rust effect to a dark but not black paintwork.

As a lot of you know, I have some Super Nitro and Super Nitro Rally cars, bodies are very hard to find for them, so I have been playing with the Savage bodies. The yellow truck is on a Super Nitro Rally chassis and it would fit really nice if I slotted the bed for the rear shock tower... the other two are on regular Super Nitro chassis... I like the pickup the best. Glen

Ok bud bud, It looks like you are right........ahhhh twice. I thought it said 76 on the body.. It does say 72. And yes those are not exactly "new" pictures.... they've been posted once before. [:@] I want to take the XL out today, but the pain is the weather. One day it's sunny and nice and the next morning there is snow on the ground and right cold out. I know it's only a screw but before I drive I almost have to spend a while before each run... I'm just lazy I guess. Had my rustler out in the street yesterday.. But it has a broken caster block on the front right. Crazy glue lasts for about a tank though

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

RE: Show off your classic, 1980 or older truck bodies
Thanks! That one was really easy, it just required masking off the front bumper, then the black and the windows. I painted the red first, then peeled the masked area for the black and sprayed it, then the silver front bumper. Peeled the windows and it turned out great. It is still bouncing around the country someplace. [8D] It has not died an untimely death yet... That is just Pactra rattlecan paint and you spray the inside of the body. Way easier than it looks!

That body is the best looking body for a Savage ever. I like mine and yours is cool as well.
I need to make one for bashing. Good job on the paint.

My latest creation. Shell was sanded with 400 grit wet paper for the dull finish. Should have used 1800 or 2000 grit to prevent the scratches. I was going for a matte black, but ended up with faded worn out black. I still think it came out pretty sweet.

Couple, old Bronco body (not sure which year) on a stock E-sav, and a Chevy '72 shell on my race E-sav. I did a terrible job of painting the race truck, but I needed it for later that morning and was in a rush lol.
