I think that's a pretty decent idea. As someone who reuses a body several times before junking it, I've seen my fair share of extra holes.... yuk! Painted to match I think they'd work out well.

I agree! Those screw head caps should look good painted to match. Great idea! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I think I am going to go forward with the idea. Might look a little odd but it’s better than having open holes. Stay tuned some changes are coming to the TK | |||

Doing some tinkering around with the body and started to wonder about an interior. I have one of the Hong Kong special interiors that has been hanging around for a while and started to wonder what if Sure enough it fits perfectly. That’s good enough for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks like it lines up fairly well with the windows. Width looks good too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Little difficult to hold and take a picture but it lines up good enough for me. I think I will be able to hold it place with Velcro and that will take up the slim gap around the body and interior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

If it doesn't look too "funny", maybe see about moving the interior back 1/2-3/4"...maybe? ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

It is slightly up and in in the picture if I move it back farther I would have a big dashboard it’s early yet so I can still play around with it | |

Plugging the holes is a great idea!

Come on Mark, get some paint on that thing, and quit teasing us. Going to be cool! Ernie |

| Re: Carpetfuzz’s TK I would like to get some paint on but it’s to cold to paint me garage isn’t heated which sucks. Still trying to figure out what colors I am going with. Maybe I can come paint over at your place |

Painting is what I'm doing right now. The old Nukizer has a Petty paint job, and I'm now working on aging it! Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 12-21-2019 at 02:17 PM. | |

I wouldn’t be 3D printing the front posts. I knew that the front hoops moved the posts outward. That’s why I was trying to figure out a way to cover the body holes that were already cut from the factory. I really like the look of the hoops. I will try and mount the shocks up later today but no guarantees. | |
