It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: '78 Chevy Malibu Drag Car Body
Thanks Jeff. I've been inspired lately by a couple of my favorite rc painting artists and I've been trying to fine tune a few techniques. I was really happy with this one.

Re: '78 Chevy Malibu Drag Car Body
Beautiful! That paint scheme really does that body justice. It's a mostly straight-ish body, straight body lines, and the scheme matches it well. It looks fast standing still, even without a chassis underneath.

OOOHHH, I like it!!
The paint scheme is perfect!!
I really like those old square body GM vehicles from the '70's and 80's.
That Malibu will make an excellent drag car!!

Sold this one to a buddy, but I was tempted to swap out the 69 nova body on my DR10 for this one.
