Bodyshell 'tweak'

[HarlowS]

Was looking for just a bit more space under the shell for speedo wires, receiver and wires etc. The standard shell has the indent at the bottom which loses you a bit of space, so with a bit of work managed to flatten the sides out to give a bit more room on the inside. A few edges have also been rounded off too to make masking and spraying a bit easier :)

End results came out quite well......... Hopefully the pics attach :rolleyes:

you can't tell the old from the new, nice one!

[HarlowS]

Why thank you Sir :). Nothing wrong with the standard shell in the way of looks, just needed a tweak here and there.... (as we will all need in time :blush:)

Neat :thumbsup:

to be honest, i dont know why they didnt make them like that in the first place.

well done

Bill showed me this shell a few months back when it was in the early stages and the quality and finish is really good. Running speed passion and Futaba FAAST makes it really tight and that little ledge hit the plugs no matter what I did.

This design would solve all the issues I had and seal the bottom of the shell nicely into the pods to reduce water ingress a lot during wet racing.

Well i'll speak to dad and he may just save you one :)

I'll ask then.... How do we get hold of one of these - I don't really like the Gainabull shell. But this is slick & retains the original shape and look. Good work!

[HarlowS]

Didnt really plan on doing it to sell them, more of a project, we have a few left from the first batch, Will need to check on price but looking at £12 ish plus postage or collection. We have done wings as well in the same design as kit but the lexan is a bit thicker, although still flexible. Wings would be about £3.50 each.

There could be a queue for these! It's a very good idea and it looks great too.

Well, if you'd like to sell one, prices seem keen, and I'd like to try one out (I'd take a wing too, you can't have a new body and an old wing)

[HarlowS]

Leave it with me, let me have a word with the boss (Dad) and i will see what we have left and drop you a pm. :)

Good work! I agree, this is how they should have been in the first place.

Though, you might just have left me with a massive pile of Gainabulls I wont be able to sell :woot:

[HarlowS]

Ok, Body shells are coming out at £12.99 and wings will be £3.50. Of the 4 i have, 3 are now sold, so 1 shell left at the moment, if anybody else is interested i may go and get some more made next week, So give me a shout if your interested :)

[HarlowS]

Just off to collect the 2nd batch of shells & wings this afternoon so if anybody wants one just drop me a message.

Cheers :)

[HarlowS]

For those that have asked, yes i will be taking some shells to Robin Hood this Sunday, so anyone wanting to collect at the National just let me know so i can take enough:)

[Dazzler]

I promised Stu I'd post a photo or two of my Durango once I'd got my Shell painted (As supplied by Stu).

Paint was the work of oOple forum member Afun1979.

No stickers yet.. I'll sort those later.

[HarlowS]

Looking good bud :cool: You done me bodyshell proud :)

Gotta say Andy has done an awesome job on the paintwork.

[afun1979]

Cheers lads.
I must say that although the bodyshell "tweak" may look only minor it does give you a fair bit more space for mounting the electrics and running the wiring.
For anyone on the lookout for a new shell or simply struggling to get everything neat in the car, i can't see why you wouldn't go for one of these, i've painted a fair few bodys over the years and the quality and price is great.
Good job Stu (Bill really)

[HarlowS]
