Well, the update is this...

I am going to pull lexan bodies off the one I have been showing you. With all the detail and time I have in this, I can't bring myself to run/destroy it. I have started on the vacuum forming table and converting the body to a mold. I picked up some .060 lexan yesterday and am going to pick up the heating elements on Friday. Hopefully I will have a Zook body to show you guys by Sunday.

















And no, still not spilling the beans on what the body is made of

If they come out good, they would sell for around $15.00 plus shipping. Just guessing on the price though, havn't really thought about selling them to much.

And thaclodking, how did you know what it was made of

Not a zuki fan, but I still love custom work like that. Great job!! Maybe you'll be able to come run in One of our comps in the newly added MNRCRC scale class in 07??
