- Project Fit -
 
Yup! Got my other Fit in today, starting to work on it right away, this one will be a long term project, and I will be paying a lot of attention to details on this one. I started to making the spoiler for it last night, and still working on it at the moment, below is a pic it's mock up. Comments are welcome.

looks good, lol. man, it would be funny to use this body in a race and to be flying past everyone in a honda fit. i like the rims but they look a bit too big for the car, IMO.

This is shaping up to be an awesome body. You seem to have a real knack at customizing your bodies so they look like they came the way you made them. Can't wait to see the finished product. I hope you go with the orange paint. I really dig orange cars.

Dr. Kustom 07-29-2009 12:03 AM

Thanks xmodcanuck, and yup, it will be getting the orange paintjob. =)

Okay, I haven't got much time to work on the Fit, have been busy with another project and a busy life. I have got much done on the Fit recently, I drilled out 2mm holes on the front turning signal at both of the front head lights. Also, order a brand new 2.4GHz AWD chassis with some brand new Kyosho parts to go with it, the chassis should be here before weekend comes.
