Rex........ This being my first LSR car so I decided to go with a proven design. Jacks cars are definitely that, plus I just like the way they look. I have made some changes of my own that I think may help. As for the body mold, I too think going with a female mold would make a nicer piece but I am on a very tight budget. I figured it would cost double to go that route. I don't mind putting some blood and sweet into the body. I have made a couple projects this way and they turned out really nice. Just got to rub on it more. I have talked to Jack a few times and he has given me some good information on how to save on the body build. Like you said, lots of sanding.
Glen........ Your idea about a two piece body is something I have been thinking about also . As you said, it will make it easier in the event of a fire and since I will only have a couple people helping me with the car, it will also be easier to remove the body. I am definitely thinking about it.
