Here's some flames for you and plates with rivits and other detail. The 3-D effect is unreal out in the sunlight. It won RCZone Sept Best Paint contest Pro division and was in R/C Driver last month. Its not a show car I race it every weekend. The body was painted by my buddy Sparx in Denver Colorado. Velcro body mounting and a right turn antenna mount to keep the dsm antenna parallel and under the body. The velcro works best for drag cars. If they hit the net and get into the air the body comes off and flutters to the ground instead of hitting whatever the car does. Good thing too. This car has already been broken in half in 3 places when it got through the net careened off a building and augered in. Most of the chassis was worthless. But the body made it without a scratch. There is a big Rat face on the hood and lots of other detail on this body. I know he uses Iwata airbrushes and Cretex paint bob dievels and also vinyl masks. The concept for this car is the movie Animal House. This is a drag racing version of the car that wrecked the town in the movie. The Greek letters for the frat are on the blower hat and the rear top of the car. Remember the cake? It said Eat Me and so does this car in big bright letters on the rear panel. I'm sure the opponents love it The next pic is the newest version of the Rat face for my other dragster a top fuel rail. This is part of the theme for my World Finals concours entry car. Its going to be something you haven't seen before anywhere. Very cool and detailed. The guy is very talented. I'll post some pics of the completed body and details of how it was done when its finished now that I've found this forum. Griz
