Team bit Pimp's newest addition
Cabo sent me some decals, so I decided to take bitPimps down south for some good ol' American road racing in the Trans Am series.
This body is redone. The paint didn't want to lay right on it the first time, and over the months it started to look like the surface of the moon. So I had to sand every surface, including the windows, and get it baby butt smooth before repainting. I stripped out the lights, and while I was at it shaved out the whole inside of the body, so I could get it lower, and making this my lightest ZZ body. I made some tiny headlight covers, and a spoiler for the rear deck. The decals gave me some difficulty. I never used ink jet decals before, I probably could have been more delicate, but they also could have used a little more clear coat. At any rate, if you got some of these from cabo, just be careful not to get them too wet and you'll be alright.

Wow, this one's hard to pigeon hole as just one thing.
It looks tough, but yet kind'a classy / racey.
I like it, gonna have to stare at it for a little longer. lol
Glad to see the decals came out alright.

Cabo, I was going for the bad ass race car that you don't want to see in your rear view mirror. The skull and crossbone on the hood, would have completed that look. That bummed me out when I killed that decal. It's imcomplete without it.
SWG, I can send you some bitPimps logos. Damn just mailed you your prize yesterday, I should have thought to throw some in.
