I've got a couple of DS projects going on so I figured I'd start a thread to keep track of the progress. First up is a DS I acquired used that will be getting refresh.

This is how I received it and its current condition:


This is the Mustang DS body I found on ebay. It had been taken out of its original package and had light scratches but was unpainted. I encountered some issues painting this body with over spray and bleed through in a couple of spots but overall it will be good for a light runner:



I'll updates as progress continues.

That body looks killer

Thanks!

Started adding more detail to the body:





Chrome wheels are new but are already flaking around the lip

That looks amazing mate.. Anyone know if there are re pops of any of the DS bodies available anywhere? Mustang or Mercedes? Thanks

AWESOME Clean-UP!!!

Thanks fellas!

There isn't any re pops of these bodies that I know of. I have a Parma body that's similar but it's a bit wider.

More detailing coming soon as well as a chassis clean up.

Fitting an older Pro-Line interior. I had to make a cut for the shock tower in order to get the interior to sit low enough. Covered it with a piece a stainless trim.



The body will sit a little lower than this.

This looks awesome. The ds fell right in the timeframe that I wasn't paying attention to rc, so I never new it existed until recently!

Wow man. This thing is sweet, I really like the theme on the body
