I've been searching eBay and the web for bodies, or painters,and haven't been to successful. I found this on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Team-Associated-Vintage-RC10-Edinger-Box-Art-body-/160722361811?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item256bcc9dd3#ht_2032wt_1344
which is an amazing body, but how would I get the wing painted to match? :lol: Kinda weird :?

My question is....Who is "the man" when it comes to having a box-art body made?

Eau Rouge is probably the box art killer, but he's pretty much retired as far as I know. Outside of him I would recommend going thru some of the paint threads and see who impresses you. Contact them and see what they want for a job. Pick someone close(if they disclose their location :roll: ). Save on shipping. :wink: Hell, you may even find someone within driving distance. Of course that brings to mind Steven Wright- "Everything is within walking distance if you have the time." :lol:

:lol: Price isn't really an issue, I want quality. As good as the build is going to be when complete, I want to top it off with a cherry on top, not a lemon. :?

The pic in the eBay link is exactly what I'm after. Why he doesn't include the wing is strange. You'd never get it to match!

the correct wing is discontiued. that's most likely why he doesn't offer one.

They both say Associated 6184 on them and look correct.

At least one other member here bought one of his bodies. If you mail him your wing he will paint it to match. Do a search and locate the other posts regarding this. :)

Someone did just that WMC. I got in touch with Luis in Spain. I have purchased the body and have my wing enroute to him. Cant wait to crown my build with such a showpiece! 8)
