Whacha got planned for the body?

thanks.. .yeah, I really didn't think of it until last minutes lol.... The body? well, I'm jus going to paint, I think I've done enough body kitting on my recent projects. I may just leave this with the stock stuff as far as skirts are concerned. Later today, I'll snap a few more pics of the basically finished product, except the body. i've done a few fills with just small piece of plastic and glue... it should look good when I'm done!!

as far as turning is concerned, it turns fine. I actually did have to move the front up a little because the stabilizer bar was hitting the body, and it wouldn't turn, but now, it's fixed!!

aiight guys, like I've said, I've made a few updates, so here is my bB now:

I took the tires off, because you couldn't get a feel for how low it was. just FYI, here are the specs:

1 mm off the ground on front and sides, 3.5 mm off ground in rear![/img]

nice, original work man. I don't think anyone has moved the idler gear for this purpose before. Great out-of-the-square thinking....

Suprizingly, making a good beater car is probably harder than making a really nice car, lol.

lol yeah you're right!

just fyi: I've painted the silver and the details, as well as the clear. I'm giving it plenty of time to dry before I put it on the chassis!

hell yeah it was.... a big pain in the ass lol... I had it moved originally, and then it was grinding too much, so I filled in the hole with super glue, and then made a new one about a millimeter the the right and bottom.... big pain in the ass lol... but it's worth it!

of moving the idler gear?

well:

it's so low that I had to relocate the idler gear because it was grinding on the rear deck lid thingy lol
