Parts box build up with home made dirt mod body.

Thought I would post some pics of a car I built from spare parts,not sure what you would call it,maybe a Junior with wide front.Ive had these LXT wheels lying around for some time and think they work good on this.The body came with a JRX2 I bought here many years ago and thought I would have a crack at turning it into a dirt mod.I know its not corrct but once its on the track it will look like any other I hope.I made the box section from A4 ring binder covers.Im quite happy with the outcome.Will be building another one from a JRXT for my brother so I will have a race buddy.I am currently building a clay oval so will post some more pics when it hits the dirt.

Looks good. Was the ring binder cover already blue or did you paint a clear one?
Think I know what a ring binder cover is. LOL

It was allready that colour so saved me some time,heres what they look like,I went to buy another one today but the covers on the new ones are all thin so I think the older ones are best.I was going to order sheet lexan but thought I would give it a shot and at worst end up with a template but Im happy enough with the way it turned out.
