Dude for real, Poor Poor body, it looked pretty kickass befor it got cut up... And the fact that its green and has sg219 on it, ruins it all.... LOL just mess about the last part, but it is Odd to have SG on the rear.

hmm..sg219? weird. you should raise a newbody above the tire till it doesnt hit the tire in either directions and you wouldent have to cut the wheel wells but you could trim them if you wanted to to make the body set a little lower.i dont know...

:innocent:

Slow down a bit and round off the areas. Sorta looks like you chewed the material away.

Keep working. Everything gets better with practice.
