Thanks for all of the comments and suggestion from fellow gt racers.
Just make sure we can purchase it here in Australia please or at least from someone that ships to Australia.

Can't wait for it Hurry up

Service here in Australia is very poor & that's sad

Cheers Darren

Thanks, for looking.

MROD, any updates to the new body? Inquiring minds want to know.

Looks great!
It would be great if the front extended extra low so it could be custom cut depending on set up.
I make my own splitters and if i could the nose to the exact length I would really have something then.

Default Body update

Hi guys, sorry for the delays on the body, I have been out of town on a freelance job for Hyundai design and I have been gone for about a month, but i am back and have started to finish up on the body, I discovered that I made a little error in the width and I had to fix it as well as a wing attachment method. I had plans to make stanchions for the wing but it looks like I might have to skip that for the first runs of the body. I am also learning about some of the cost to do this the right way and since I am funding this myself it is a little more involved financially than I had expected, I am still shooting for mid june, I will post some more pictures soon.

Was after the 2spd and clutch bell, but I noticed that the towers work on the mbx5 diff housing. I'll work on it more after the roar national race.

Sorry about the lack of communication guys, I have been going through some major health problems and had to put the project on hold, hopefully I will be able to pick it back up at the beginning of the new year. Thanks for all of the positive responses, and as I am able to move forward I will keep you informed.
Thanks.
