yea dude looks awesome man ...... we both live in wa my next body goes to you
 
Anyhow Thanks for the comments guys. It should, well will look alot better once it's trimmed, Peeled, and the stickers are applied. Coming soon to a thread near here.
 
Wow, Looks great!!! I ve been waiting to see this for a while, If you werent so far way I d have to have you paint me one too.

A HPISF theme would be cool on a body.
 
Thanks Wister. Not done quite yet. If I could maybe get some smallish HPISF stickers, I would put them on most all bodies I paint. I have had some from the LHS I put on a number of them, but am out of those now. Again thanks.
 
wow good job buddy!! you have me thinking to just wing it and try painting a body as i am in need of one now!!:10:

Thanks. Take your skirt off and paint one already. They never come out quite as I envision them but they usually look good. I am just learning still I try something new on every one so I haven't mastered anything yet but It's fun and thats what counts.

Well ok guys here it is. Hope youall like . The lines on these are sweet, the stickers are some of the best detailed I have seen. It was easy to cut out with a couple different pairs of scissors

And like I said before, These HPI bodies are already premarked as to where to cut and drill the holes to fit a standard Savage. They hold up well, And look fabulous! As for if there are questions on how It was painted, ask I'll try and answer. Once again Sorry it took so long, And hope this review will help in your choices for your next body. Thanks Gregg

Nice eye! Here's the deal. I gave the neighbor girl a body I had done for her Bday K. I told her brother I would do one for him. He did not like the ones I had and did not know what he wanted, so Like a Dumba$$ I told him when I got a body he liked let me know and I would paint It for him, Well this was it. So being a man of my word I painted it and gave it to him. He loves it! Now I need to get another and do for myself. Hope that isn't a problem. That I gave it away I mean. but they can be fit to a stock (badword) truck.

Looks like the neighbor kids Revo from here. If you could read the posts instead of just lookin at the pics you'd already know that. As far as bashing I need time to do some maintenance. They will run but need a lil TLC really. couple pics on my savy though just for comparison as it's meant to be on one Funny covers both bumpers on the revo looks bad
