      This hunk of crapper was painted over about 8 times, everytime I took took off the paint I cut on the body with an x-acto knife to help get rid of imperfections, etc.
      In the process I completely trashed this my favorite body – so I figured, screw it, this will be my experiment body, and that’s exactly what I did.
      I experimented with designs, color combos, and masking…
      In the end, I actually brought this hunk of junk back from the dead, but it’s on medicare for sure! lol

      They look like some rims that I’ve got…

      They’re off a clone (same as Bit but grey not chrome), and I cut every second spoke out.. so they’re 4spoke instead of 8.

      thanks guys.

      the rims are microsizer rims that were once chrome, I cut out every other spoke like gtvolv mentioned.
      DT, I think that’s why I love this body so much, it’s the only body I know of to fit on bits that looks like old school american muscle – which also why I was devistated when I first ruined the body. lol
      z-beam, excellent idea homie! I might have to try that!

      I’m in St. Louis… you know, flossin in da midwest! lol

      that’d be cool too, but I meant stop by the forums and say hi, not all the members over there get a chance to get over here, and vice versa.

      I wish there were more of us so we could actually start getting some racing events going.

      betta recognize… uh huh 🙂
