I think the body looks really good. Im guessing the guys who say its a bad body have never worked with fiberglass. Its not easy to work with, so to get it even as close as it is, is pretty impressive. At least to me anyway. Working with fiberglass sucks.

Thanks all. It was his first time working with fiberglass. He was going for 50s style ambulance car look.

I'm sorry the paint is skillful the body design made out of any material including glass is not pleasing to the eye. Amen

Nice paint! I understand that fiberglass is hard to work with but the body is way out of proportion. Is this due to the difficulty of fiberglass or is it the way you make the mold? Great first attempt though. |
