I posted on the first prototype so I feel obligated. I like this one much better but paint would help to get the full effect.

George, this one looks better.You do know the Mini-T and the 18t have different wheelbases,so your prototype appears to be for the 18t only. That's okay, though.

yup, i know the 18t is a bit longer. i will prolly make them with no wheel wells so you can use them on either chassis although it might look a bit long on the minit.

solly, could you please be more specific in what you like and dont like ?

Needs a steeper roof angle (lower in the front).

like wally said, lower the front of the roof. Also, the bends in the side panels....make those slanted a little also (but not as much as the roof)

I agree with the last 2 posts. Give the Body a downward pitch toward the front.

too tall

Dlan44 (member.php?u=3571) sorry i have to disagree on that one. any shorter and it would look weird.

Considering the wheelbase, I think it is too tall. It just looks too tall compairing it to a real EDM. A little more rake in the roof line would counteract that some.

yea i agree on the roof. its hard to get the scale appearence on this chassis.

A bunch of at work just got the Parm/PSE EDM bodies for our 18T's, I just want to know were can I view cars to get and Idea of how to paint mine. A couple of the guys are really great at painting...but I don't know if they will have the time to do mine so I will have to mask it off and use spray cans.

So if you have any tips let me know were I can get some help with this.
