That body was from a Thundercharger that Havok sent. The Celica was another from him and I am gonna work on the s2000 he sent prolly tomorrow.

Be very careful with that dremel bro. If ya can muster up the patients use paper and blades for body work.
Nice job by the way

I use a dremel to get most of the crap off (depending on what I'm doing). But I always file/sand/cut with a blade when I get close to the edge of what I'm doing, the dremel is just too muach of a beast to get any closer, woah nelly! Also don't use the grinding heads, use a cutting head, they're better for plastic, the grinding heads just make the plastic melt.

@VDM, that's cool, you actually made that TC body look like something. I didn't have the patients for mine.
I totally agree about the dremel comments. I use a razor saw to get most the stuff out of the way, then I use a hobby knife with a long straight blaade, and the big red handle carve it down, then I use sandpaper to take it the rest of the way down.
@Yagbols, that's cool project you got going there. Loks good with those alloys. What did that start as? It almost reminds me of a Mini Cooper,

VDM, Thanks for the comment
Payaso, that dude is actually a babe...lol ill post some pics of her with the car soon. I got the bike from a majorette car with a trailer, whats cool is that i saw one that has a rubber boat on a trailer.
Dave, That started out as a Bb...then i cut up another Bb to add to the back part. Yeah i got the cooper color scheme there. It still needs to be worked on tho.
