I got tired of dealing with the SUV body. Take off, start it, take off, tune it, take off, (it died on a roll over) start it... got old fast.

So, yesterday I went to the lhs and bought a new body and painted it with paint that I had left from last time. Nothing fancy, but it is the first time I actually used the stickers...

Enjoy:

Why is the end of that one tie wrap hanging way out the back?
 
Thats for his fuel lid. easier to refuel. HOLY poop, Olds has a full truck body, glad you took pics, it wont look good long. LOL The little MT is coming along nice, ran that OS 18 much yet, the more I run mine the better I like it.
 
Yes, it's for the fuel tank lid to make it easier to fill. I left it extra long for winter use (gloves make it harder).

I've only ran about 10-15 tanks through it. I think I'm not going to drive it much until it warms up.
 
looks good,i was wondering about those SUV bodies,if they would be a pain to deal with,thanks for the post now i know not to get one heh ;)
 
Thats a bad looking truck you got there.. I always love black rims.. keep it up..
 
i like that..think i will cut my stock 25 body so i can get to the pull start.

great idea!!
 
I like the two tone paint jobs. I also like your new chevy...
 
I think it looks real nice w/ the roll-bar set-up in there, makes it look like a rock crawler or a baja truck on steroids. lol
 
Drive carefully. The cutout over the engine & tank looks like it will be prone to cracking.
