RE: My new F150 Body
Did you use the inside stickers to put on the design?
You did a great job. I will be painting my first body next week.
Most likely I will put less stickers on, will want to show off the hard work.

Right, I understand that. I put a hole in the top of mine for glow plug access, but only big enough to get the ignitor on the plug. I was wondering why it was so big.

The hole is so big that i can have easy access to the HSN, Glo access and also use the New Era roll bar as a carry handle. It may weaken the shell a bit so i will report back after racing tommorow to let you know how it gets on.

Just as a suggestion when making cut outs and holes it is best to eliminate corners and make them round and smooth as possible. Like the cut out for the fuel and glow plug. Usually in the coners is where cracks are easily started, but get job!!

Matt,
Where did you get the NewEra rollbar?? Did you purchase it directly from the US or did you get your local hobby shop to order it for you??
If you bought it from the US yourself, what was the postage cost and delivery time like??
Cheers,
Adam
