I have not had a chance to mask the body.

I hope to have it done soon. Can't wait to see it on the track

Finished building the Sand Scorcher that Sanat(the wife) brought me this year for the shelf. I still need to paint the body, which will be box art.

My next Sand Scorcher build should be making an appearance at the 2011 VONATS....

Really? Box art is like the missionary style of paint jobs.

Yeah but there is a reason some things are classic :)

One of the first...

This buggy I plan on running in the Classic class. Pretty much a bone stock Falcon with the exception of Losi springs and HPI superstar wheels and J concepts tires. Same combo I ran on the Frog.

More pics as I get her finished up as well.
