Im gonna try and work up a pattern using my old template and get it on a pdf. using cad. its not hard if your patient and have a steady hand. I used a 1ft x 2 ft aluminum sheet from home depot. you score and break it with a xacto or use shears. It might take a little time to get done as I have alot of projects. thanks for the compliment. id love to see an aluminum roll cage to go with it

Looks awesome, something you won't see everyday! Love how the red shocks reflect in the body. Don't forget to polish the roof plate to match. 8)

still working on body, gonna either use a lexan driver doll or sculpt a driver out of balsa and resin. also will be making an allow wing, possibly an alloy cage. an alloy bumper and some side gaurds. of course a polished roof and maybe a rally light setup. I also have some translucent red vinyl im goin to use to accent the body, I want the final product to have a scaler feel yet hold true to its heritage and shine. I might put it up on ebay when im done. its close to 90% new parts and the used ones are mint. too nice to drive imo sadly.
