A couple of photos of a body I've just had painted.
The rear's going to be reinforced to counter the centre of the bed being cut out.
Only negative is I MIGHT have to drive more carefully and cannot fit a roll bar.
What d'ya think?

I know it's not the correct body, but that's countered by the paint work - no stickers!!

Blue Thunder Monster truck

here's a picture of the real monster truck and larger pics of the shell. There will be a step by step tutorial on how this was painted in a few days. I'll post the details shortly

Simple answer is NO.
I'm actually in Mexico for a few weeks, the body's been painted by Pat of www.custompaintedrcbodies.com and will arrive (hopefully!!) just after I do back in UK.
Pat said he's going to set up a full spread of photos over this weekend on a painting forum he's a Moderator in.
I've only had 5 photos so far, but hat's off (if I wore one) to him - quite an amazing job.
I was a pain discussing all manner of details to him. I wasn't keen on cutting out the centre, but the Stadium truck shell is cut out. He's going to reinforce around the rear part, to compensate, but the 'cool' part is it exposes the motor 'like the real one'!!
The BRILLIANT part is that all is paint, not stickers, so if it does roll and the shell survives, only a bit of cutting polish is required.
I've got extra Parma Monster Jam stickers to add where necessary.
Can't wait!!
