yeah i really screwed up my stock body so i was gunna by a new one but at lowes i saw some aluminum flashing and it makes excellent bodies I've already made one and i will make another better one


also hows is an OFNA Picco red dot .26 in a tmaxx does anyone run that i want to buy one
 
i got a red dot but not gona be starting it up till spring time. I'm building a truck over the winter.
 
i have a bunch or perferated aluminum and i was thinkin about covering my roll cage with it what u all think
 
its okay but i see if i can find my camera and it has no front or rear bumper area for more airflow

like i said its only the prototype i posibly are going to make a new one this weekend
 
i know its some flimsy crap but over a roll cage its not bad
on my rebuild i am using straight sheet metal
 
yeah i did this with no expierenece and I'm only 14
 
process

first i took the sheeting and since it wraps around with a little left over i just cut the length to i think 19 in. then i measured on side to the top of the cage and marked it out then bent it about 75 80 degrees then bent it again to make the finish repeat and trim excess so now i have something that looks like a retarded body and cut and form around a roll cage with pop rivets
