OK guys, a friend of mine is going to try to get this made up. I need to know what everyone thinks of it. We might have to widen it a little (Rules committee is going to see into it). The bottom of the cut body is exactly 5" wide but the top of the roof is 4 1/4. Cut trimmed body is .60 lexan. The untrimmed body is .30. Need your opinions on the thickness as well. I like the .60 myself.  Please, all opinions will be appreciated.  Keep in mind that this is a rough draft. Some of the pics blurred on me....I guess because of the clear lexan???? Still have to paint it to get a better vision of it.  On to the Pics! Last edited by Rockcrawler; 04-22-2008 at 02:19 PM. |

Yeah, he wants me to get every one's opinion and let the rules committee check it out before he gets a real mold done for it. I am thinking that we might need to get the roof to the 5" minimum though. It would look bad @zz if it was "boated" or what ever you guys call it.EDITED: Ok Griz.....Deleting post after I quoted you is going to make me look like an idiot.

| I deleted my post because I wanted to think more about the vendorish side of things. Since you caught me I will still say that I really like the look of it. On the width, the rules don't say that the "entire body" must be 5.5" wide. |

I talked to Jason before I posted it. I think the body is ok, but I kinda would like to see the bottom of the sides pulled in.  | |

looks cool, narrow designed and looks to be roll over friendly you could get him to make the sides longer so that you could bend them in depending on what ride height you have it mounted. I would go with the thicker lexan because I have had a repo body that some people made on this board and the thin lexan is crap. I could fart on it distort the body |
