front, side and rear cutout

looks pretty good. Helps with air flow for sure.

 

[slowngreen]

Yeah I'm sure it make a real nice difference on heat.

 

[robmob]

That looks great.

 

[slowngreen]

Does it help keep dust out since theres always wind blowing through it now?

 

[JessF]

I'll have to check, SLowgreen. But I think you're on to something.

I just love how sexy this thing looks ripping up the street. Cutting the back out just helps with looks and a lot with heat. Air just flow straight through now.
I'm not focussing on temps this year unless their extreme. But I have noticed the temps drop quicker when at idle then before.

that is a great idea, I think you on to some thing there:thumbup1::thumbup1:

I like it,it looks even more realistic. Did you make the window nets?

 

[darkslayor24]

Opps, I see the side mounts now. I had to focus these old eyes.

The window nets, I made them from cotton twine you get from most hardware stores then painted them black.

if you look just below the "area 51" sticker where the driver side tail light would be you'll see a body post poking through. Look on the passenger side of the bumper and you see a round tab that all SC8 trucks have.

I took an extra body post I had from another project then screwed and epoxied the post to the round tab then poked a whole through the body.

I'll take a pick tomorrow of the area.

cheers

I have that round flat part on my sc8, I was just wondering how did you get the body post into it:thumbup1:, I was thinking of using the rear body post mounts off my RC10t's and cutting out a small section of that flat spot then the post would also sit flat on top of that round circle area, and then I can screw it in behind that

that's more or less what I did except I had extra mounts from my Baja 5b ss kit like 2 of the 3 shown here. cut the "button" off and you're left with just a post. embed a screw in that post, cut the head off so you can then screw the whole thing into the round tab and voix la, you have rear body mounts for your SC8.
