Thanks for the tip. As far as not running that body, the paint job can be done again. It will hurt the first time it takes a ding though. I did a new Camaro body for my TC3 and did the drywall mesh tape and goop reinforcement before it ever hit the track. The Shelby front end is even softer. I'm tempted to use the same method plus the canned foam insulation tip when I get mine ready to race. I did ask for a second set of stripe masks when I ordered so I could reproduce the paint job later. Good luck with the dialing in when you get the chance.

Awesome T/A paint jobs guys! I though I'd post up a couple of mine, the red/black/silver is the newest one--it's same scheme as the silver/black/red body from the T/A nationals but I swapped the colors around. The white/red/blue body was a "tribute" to the Greenwald vette's from the 1970's.

Yep, that was me--thanks for the compliment, and glad I could help. Actually, for the first time ever, I had a rear spoiler break Saturady at Trackside. It was on the silver body and it took a full speed hit to the rear from a 13.5 car while I was almost sitting still waiting for a crash to clear in the sweeper. I need to get a little creative with shoo goo and lexan, but I think I can fix it. My "tabs" were still intact, but the aluminum bolts holding it on broke off at the body and the origional mounting points are completely gone.
