Ok, so 90% of the time, I will be using one of my other bodies with my SE, but the lights are kinda neato, so I wanted to fix up this body a bit, for the other 10% of the time.

This body originally looked to me like it should have came in a plain white box, with the bar code on the front. So I painted it Blue. I tried a fade, but I was painting at midnight, and was having trouble seeing what I was doing in the dark, and kept moving it forwards to try to get the 2 sides even. So it's not as smooth as one of Cabo's fades, but it's not bad.

To combat the high riding thing, I got kinda nutty with some half ass boddy kitting. Since every body I tried on this chassis sat higher in the front, I went ahead and dropped the front body tab. Not much though, this is as low as it will go with the lights in, but at least it's enough that my other bodies wont sit high in the front.





I think it looks much better, but wife says it's still ugly.

Its not my fav body that zz has put out but you did make it look bettter thats fo sho

Ahh you accually made the Savannah look good nice job dave. I was thinking would it help lowering some to remove the springs? Or are they stuck in place hard?

yea man, you made it look tons better.
not much you can do about how they made the body and how it sits, the paint job itself is fantastic.

I personally think the springs are too hard, because they don't compress at all when the car is on the ground. Could be why all my bodies sat a little high in the front.

Maybe we could starting cutting coils out of the springs. Be sounding like the full size guys, "I cut 1 1/12 coils out to lower the front end."

But I'll wait until I have another SE before I try any experiments like that. Lowering the tab is good enough for now.

Good job on the savannah dave.

I'm also waiting till I get another chassis before I start messing with it too much. The bodies are a dufferent story though.
