Wow I like it, that body looks great on your setup. now all you need is a wing mount :)

Have you decided what your exact setup will be?

Thanks guys. I would have gone with a wing but it would be really hard with the way my towers are set up... Not sure the rear tower could handle some heavy landings on a wing. Its too bad I cant get the body lower, theres so much empty space between the top of the chassis and the top of the shell!

Well, here it is. I did this all late last night, and without proper masking tape. I only had 1" thick tape and no pinstriping tape. So the black line turned out not to be much of a smooth line, but more of a varying width, splattered paint looking line! But it worked out well because I like the look, gives it kind of a wild look instead of a perfect smooth line. The paints used were white, black and flourescent red-orange. Though it looks like pure orange to me (its even more orangy in person). I wish the color had a little more red in it but hey I cant complain for a first time paint job. It had so much flat orange I threw a bunch of decals on it, Im tempted to throw a bunch more on but I dont want to overdo it. The white on the truck bed is just some leftover material from the window masking sheet, I wanted to add some color in the rear, it was too orange!

EDIT: I just realized I had the camera set on "flourescent white balance" so the color is off a little. The orange is more rich and "pops" alot more in person.
