you can use an old lexan body or you can go to the store and buy some polycarbonite and cut it yourself and attach it with zip-ties or screws and mounts | |

the local race supply shop here has roll plastic for making ground effects you can use it in a break and it holds shape really well, its tough stuff and it comes pre-dyed so you want scrape the color off. i could hook you up w/ some drops if you want should be enough to do a buggy. LMK-justin
