My body looks like crap because i cant get it level any little tips could help.

what car do you have?

Mount it straight?

Sorry... couldn't help it....

I use those foam pad protecters on mine to level out and to protect the underside of the shell.
Use your first pin for teh height you want then put the foams pads on top put on shell then pins on top of that always keeps everything level that way

I have a tc3 and i like the foam idea.

i cut and mount before painting. that seems to help for me.

Ditto... I do the complete reverse to what they say to do if you follow the HPI Painting instructions that come with the Bodyshells...

I Trim, Mount, wash and dry , Mask, then spray so much easier when you can see where the Body poll holes have to go...

Yah i figured out it was my chasis. but i usually trim, do body holes , mask, then wipe out with alcohol.

Using alcohol can sometime smear the lexan.. Just warm water and detergent with a good rinse is enough...
