F650 to be shreaded at the Texas bash

[whipnet]

Here's a new body I just finished. It's all perdy and all. It won't be soon.

This is for the Texas bash coming up. Plan on abusing it badly.

Dread's right. I bend the hell out of it almost every time I bash, but I just bend it right back and the important part is in over a year, I have yet to get a scratch on the Nova head. So it does it's job...

You can drill them out, but I use a body reamer:

I agree. Looks good. However, if you aren't having success at tearing it up, then you can put it on my son's savage... he'll tear it for you!!!!

Nice lid and I like the idea of that reamer....I still need to find a way to get my lids cut out cleanly...the edges always look like hell

I score the line I want a single time with an x-acto and then cut up to that line in triangles with the scissors. Simply move the piece back and forth a couple of times and it'll snap right along your score line. Clean and smooth.. I've done 10 inches on a single snap along the side of the lids.

Don't try to cut them out with scissors. Only use those to cut up to your score line. For the wheels, try to snap a little at a time. It'll snap around a curve, but don't try too much at once.

Any bad spots I do end up with I get out the dremel and smooth it out. Also round out any 90 degrees corners with the dremel... that's where the lid will start to tear if you don't.

Jon - I appreciate the offer, but you've seen me drive and should know I will not need any help with many zero-wheel landings.

There will be plenty of holes in it in a couple of weeks. 🙂
