This is still a work in progress.... I juss need to fit the windows in it and give her some paint.... it was the only model that i had that fit the xmod chassis.... don't get me wrong, my dad and I had to make it fit, but the wheelbase was the correct size... I don't quite know why, but in the pics, it looks like the body sits really high above the rear wheels, but in real life, it dont.....
if the pics don't work, you may have to right click and press "show picture", as sometimes, msn is ghey lol....

Nice dude, that's what I've been wanting to see... having the correct wheelbase is critical. I've seen a couple of other 1:25 scale model bodies on xmods, but the wheelbase didn't match up and it looked goofy. Does it seem like it'll hold up well compared to the stock body?

yeah, it wasn't exactly a perfect fit, but we managed to make it look good, i think! unfortunately, as for it holding up well against the stock body, no. the plastic is a lot, and i mean a LOT thinner than my supra. it is very flimsy. let's put it this way, this is not a racing body! unless you're racing in an area where you can't hit anything!

Very nice 'Vette Midget! I wish RatShack would less gay-ricer bodies. (RSX and Civic, not the Skyline and Supra)

I read over it a few times, and I think he means that the Rsx and Civic ARE gay ricer bodies and should not be sold, and that they should only sell good ricer bodies such as supra and skyline.

I don't mind the ricer bodies, but i think they should've made some american muscle as well...

well, first, we had to get rid of all of the interior... then, we put the body on the chassis and saw where it would hit.. we marked on the body and got rid of the areas where it would hit, and then we finally made a slot in the body for the front tab!
