Help please with custom fabriated body Pics included
Hi I just got a 1/6 rc car from my friend. Its 1/6 scale and 33 inches long (i think its a little bigger than most 1/6s) The problem is that it came with a Nascar body and I'm not a huge fan of nascar. I took pictures and put some measurements of what I want it to look like. I want a canopy for the front and a scoop and a covering for the back. If thats too hard, maybe a link to a place I can find a body to fit this thing. I don't have much money to spend so DIY and cheap things will be a major plus. I've been looking around on these threads and all of your work is absolutly amazing. Thanks in advanced for all your help.

Your best bet for that size body is going fiberglass. You could take the body you have and cut and add material like foam and wood to make a body that you like better. Then you can use it as a plug and make a fiberglass mold. Its a lot of work. I have 1/6 scale bodies but they are lumina bodies and really only look good as a drag or nascar.
