Here's some other bodies I've done if you are interested: http://www.indyhobbies.com/Airbrushing.html

Parma 34 Ford Truck
OK, I know its not a legal VTA body, but it is mounted on my VTA chassis! I couldn't resist!
This is the Parma 34 Ford Truck body mounted on an Associated TC3. Fits just right! I left the RPM bumber on because I want to run it on the track. Aerodynamically, that body isn't going to be too good for racing (ya, duh!), but I want to see it in motion.
The paint I airbrushed using Faskolor Metallic Black and then the neons for the flames. I painted a second body using their metallic blue. I added a "ZZ Top" decal to the tailgate of that truck body.
Both of them turned out great. So, if you want to make your VTA into a Hot Rod truck for a change of pace, go get one of these bodies! Note the front posts are just in the perfect spot. I don't know if a TC5 or TC6 would work for that reason.

Here's my new Hot Wheels ride that was done up for the USVTA Nats in Nashville.
For the Hot Wheels logos I scanned and enlarged a set of decals from a 1/25th scale model and retouched them for CSeils here on the boards to print. He did an excellent job of getting them perfect before printing and they turned out awesome!

Thanks Guys . I have been in a funk lately and haven't wanted to paint anything.
Most of the time when I am making the graphics for the car I may go thru three or four sets of vinyl before I get them to come out right.

A vinyl cutter comes in very handy. Myself I prefer to use the Rolland cutters I think they work the best. I have a 12 in cutter and the GX24 cutter

I have a 24-inch Graphtec 5000 and I LOVE it....
I have yet to get the masking vinyl, but I've used regular clear vinyl as a mask in the past... it sticks well on the edges, but leaves a residue when removed (because it's meant to be stuck permanently)...
