Parma 1/8th Grave Digger body and the decals.

Used Parma 4.5 inch rear posts attached to a custom mounting strip made of 1/8th inch hardboard. The hardboard is secured to the stock rear mounting post crossover with tie straps. Trimmed the body, reamed 5 holes, and mounted it.

Masked the windows and painted the body.

Ready to remove the protective film and finish the body
 
Thanks, the body sure is huge. It is longer, wider, and much taller than my stock SS GT1 body. Even the hood is much taller than the stock GT1 hood. I had to use the optional HPI Savage SS tall body posts on the front. I will post pics when it is done.
 
All Done:

I like it! I've done a few for people, and had trouble with the stickers.
Nice job Ross!!
 
very cool .... i'm new to the rc so here is a dumb question, why did/does the decals go on the out side of the body? it seems that they would be made to go inside the body to protect it all.
