Default Body panels

I've been thinking about body panels on my Ridgeback so I gave it a try today. Here is what I came up with.

I changed the plastic chassis spacers to aluminum.

That looks sweet! I like those bead rings more than I thought I would. I think I will pick up a set of those for a future build!

Thanks bro! Grateful for kind words!! Do you have a template for the panel set you came up with? I think ( while the roof is tricky) you did really well with what's there! Cool door shape too!

Sorry bud no template. I did a make one out of card stock for the roof but I tried a few different angles and bends and its was trashed. For the sides I just took one off .
