Bed depth is cool but otherwise that thing's a mess. They should of at least painted it dark for the new release pics.

I'm gonna have to agree with you guys. The release of the short course version of this body got me excited, for some reason, this one doesn't do it for me.

A fleetside would've been a lot better and ya it looks pretty rough.

At least the bed looks separate and could be used on something else.

I have found most of the Proline promo bodies to be painted in some really horrible colors

I think best case scenario for that body would be something so heavily weathered that it just looked like a wreck... or at the very least painted a dark blue, black, etc. Even the bow-tie on the poorly detailed vinyl looks "off" idk maybe just the pics. It could look decent but it'd take a lot of help in the way of the right paint, chrome accessories, badges, and light lenses.

Also... Did they intentionally use low quality res images? I couldn't even tell it had door handles & locks.

I dunno, but it looks off like harking back to the early 1990s bodies...actually they might have been more accurate. The headlights are flat, not rounded as they should be, dunno if it's the ugly promo color or what. :/

It looks just as bad as the 81 or 82 body that they used to make for the E-Maxx. I wish somebody would just scale up a Clod body to a 12.3" wheelbase.

I haven’t seen many of these posted and can’t find the other thread where we talked about this body so I’ll leave this here... just got a k10 done for the trx4 sport. Don’t mind the masking lines...

I think both Danza's and beauregard's look damn good! Dark paint and weathering can really do wonders. Going by the initial pics it looked sketchy bad but you guys really stepped up to create a couple of sweet rigs!

I think Danza's turned out awesome and he nailed the 70's - 80's vibe with it.

Thanks fellas! Interior should be here today or tomorrow so I’ll have another update in the next few days.
