Cut body in half, to fit a permanent wing? Body mounts?

For those of you who have decided to make a B4-B5 style semi-permanent rear wing, how did you cut the front 3/4 of the body, and how did you mount it?

Also, did you keep using the back 1/4, and how did you mount that?

I have a rear shock tower drilled for zb5 style wing mounts, and already have the Jconcepts aluminum mounts installed. I'm just not entirely sure how to proceed from here......

I'm sure there's some sort of body mount we can use on the rear shock tower for the front 3/4 of the body to mount to, similar to how the B4 mounts. Ideas?

This is what I have currently, also a late model style sing mount. Can't remember what car it'd from, I want to say B4 though. Note the ginormous holes needed to get the body off around the wing mounts.

Here's what I was to install. Mmmmm, more bling. This RC10 will easily have more custom parts on it than any of my runners, but a large margin. If it's blue anodized, it's going on! Ha!

I may even do blue arms and such in the future, since it only goes to the track every so often, and is never raced, but I do really enjoy driving it.
