Just Got a Proto-Form Body and I'm Stuck
Hey guys. How has it been here lately? Sorry I havent been on lately, but that's because I have been real busy.
Anyways, I just got back from the track, and I purchased a Proto-Form Dodge Stratus Body, and un-like my last HPI bodies, it doesn't have pre-marked mounting holes (This was expected not to have them, I'm not dumb...ha ha). I am wondering how and when I should mark where to drill the holes??? What I am asking is Should I paint the body before or after marking and drilling the holes, and Should I cut the body out when I do it? Also, how will I mark them?
Thanks,
Kevin

I ucut the body out first and then mark the holes(don't drill all the wat through) with my Reamer and then paint it.I do everything first so I can see through the body to mark the holes in need.

That's what I was thinking of. Thanks for the help! BTW, It will be a Fluorescent Orange Stratus! Hope it will look good!
