|  Scale Tonneau Cover Material?
Hey all, I've got an HPI 79 Ford body on the way and I'm trying to figure out how to give it a tonneau cover on the rear. Has anyone done this? I've tried e-mailing Dinky RC about the Clod one they sell but I haven't heard back. Anyone know of a specific material to use? Thanks! |

I made a soft cover for my truck once upon a time.. Die-Laughing's Toyota Mojave Drift Truck Not sure what the material is called, I just went to my local craft store and found it, I couldn't have asked for a better fabric. Nice amount of stretch, easy to work with, tonneau cover "look", etc. I think I have enough material left to do a few more (incase you mess up) if your interested, pm me. I can't really offer any tips as to how to make it work with your specific body but, I know first hand that this is some good material for this purpose. |

Try checking out your local crafts store, you'll be amazed how much stuff they have that can be used for scale items. They also have a wide range if different fabrics that you could find like faux leather or vinyl:thumbup:
