theres a company that makes little cones that sit on your body posts to indent the body, take a look on tower hobbies for them.....

put some chalk dust or similar on top of the posts, and then fir the shell to the chassis.
the chalk dust will mark the inside of the shell, and voila you can see where to put the holes

if not chalk dust, then something similar.. lipstick or something works great! just needs a little dab on top of each post, and ya girlfriend wont even notice its been used

I've already put a dab of paint on each post.. that does not work well in my opinion.. i need the link to those parts that you can put on your posts to make the dents.... thanks.. Entity.

take the body when it is clear. Hold it ontop of what your mounting it to.
take a sharpie marker.
mark the spots it needs holes.

if it is already painted the body post mounted spike things seem like a good idea.
