  Hey guys, this is my latest project. I never really liked this body and i was trying to figure what i could do with it. So i thought of a traga top simple and gets rid of that high roof. But it needed something else, a front flip this is easy also and very effective. It gives it a attitude and isnt as high of the ground any more. I didnt do the rest of the car (sides and back) because i ran outta putty, it still looks good but.

  looks cool. what colour you gonna paint it?
  make sure you trim the molding lines before you do paint it!
  
  why not fill that ugly hole in the back window and make an aerial(?) hole that is less huge in the front bonnet corner.
  also maybe have a go cutting the front and rear vents out and using a hash pipe screen or fly screen cover the holes from the inside…

  i was thinking about doen it yellow. put a under coat of silver on then put the yellow of that so i get the metallic look. and i think i will just leave the window but im gonna have a chop at the vent idea, cheers.

  turned out pretty good dude, i like it.
  
  i dont know why tomy and all the other companies make the shells the way they do, alot of them sit way too high off the chassis and look stupid. although you can fix this by doing what betty does and forgetting the mounting tabs for the bodies and using some stuff firm to grip the sides of the car.this way you could have it sit exactly how you want it to.
