It would be so cool if more TC's had stable enough body mounts to be able to mount the bodies the way we do a lot of our oval bodies (with just button head screws into the top of the mounts)
Using that type of mounting, and not having antenna wires poking through bodies...some of these incredible paint jobs would look BETTER than the real thing...
BEING a Ford Nut, I loved that Black and Gold mustang..and I really liked the removal of the louvers on the rear 1/4 windows. NICE!
(I think it just became my new desktop screen)

what does those do, glue to the inside of the body? (hard to tell from the pics)
I've always been amazed at how flimsy TC bodies mount compared to oval bodies, plus how narrow the mounting stance is.
I've always figured that is part of what leads to tc bodies being damaged easily.
I would like to see a tc with a bit wider mounting in the front of the chassis to be able to get a little more rigid front mounting..and a little more support for a good strong foam front bumper

Yes part of it glues to the inside of the body ad that 'clips'into a part you mount on your post.
Since the part that mounts on the body appears to be able to move up down tilt etc.. I think it would work when switching to new bodies, as long as you can get the clips back off.

The gold is Createx Copper Pearl.

I forgot to ask, did you sticker the bumpers or paint them? I was thinking of using opaque black for the body color and pearl silver backed with white to paint instead of sticker the bumpers.

I finally finished my VTA car. 65 HPI Mustang GT-350 painted like a 66 GT-350H. I removed the roof louvers and glued in pieces of lexan to match the real 350H's. I also cut open the hood scoop. I painted the spokes of the wheels "black chrome trim" Testor's model paint and detailed the lug nuts. I also painted "blue stripes" on the tires using a Sharpie water based paint pen. I did the white lettering of the tires with a white Sharpie. Chassis is a Tamiya TA-04S with a 27t and 4-cell for now.
