OK Hive, I'll give those wheel masks a shot if you're still offering... :) Here she is painted, no decals yet. Something about vintage lost that just screams black and orange, well to me anyway... :)

Thanks Rick!

Here's some more, applied some decals and striping, and pulled out the X2 buggy for a couple family photos.

:D
2 more here too!

I dig the IROC body.

I'd leave the headlamp cover(s) look on though. Headlight detail would be hard to do on this one.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

Also, I'm guessing this was a very old body, as the overspray film kind of left it's mark on the lexan, you can see the body is sort of matte or satin, and you can see the 'grain' of the overspray film on it even though it's gone. Tried alcohol to remove, did nothing, any other ideas? Doesnt look that bad, just could be shinier.... :)
