I painted the body today after fitting and trimming. I left the rear wheel wells a bit larger instead of following the trim line. Once it cures I'll put the stickers on and post finished pics.
Thank You Sir; Once I get the stickers on it and the R/T stripe on the back it'll look even better.
I just enjoy doing this stuff... I used the stock front mount and made a mount for the rear from a piece of aluminum across the rear mounts. 2 body clips and the aluminum mount comes off and the Nero body will fit right back on there.
I am really impressed at the detail of this body. This is my first body from HPI and I must say they did a great job on this. My only gripe would be to make it a bit thicker. Seems pretty thin in spots, but there's a fix for that... I was going to cut the side pipes off, but it would have been too short.
Sure will... Watching the weather for tomorrow. I did this for 2 reasons. I really don't think the green Nero body does the truck justice, not to mention it's expensive to replace. Second, I like old muscle cars and enjoy doing this stuff. Already thinking about which one next!
