Glad you guys are running this, I'm just trying to finish mine. I put the front wheelwell in line with axle.

Are you guys using included stiffeners?
If so, any pics and are you guys using all of them?

Stock stiffiners can definitely be used. Cut them so you have 6 total stiffiners place them just behind front wheel, in front of rear wheel and behind rear wheel. If you use the stock screws just know that they use a 1/16 head not a 1.5mm. Alternatively, you can use double sided servo tape if you don't want to use the screws but I like the security the screws provide.

Large ones go behind the rear wheel where you need the extra support.

Cool.
There a few grades of servo tape, I use the 3m uhb on high heat and difficult areas; let's hope it holds.
I'm waiting for paint to dry to continue the process. I've got a few coats and colors left. I tried rushing, but masking was coming off like shit, so I just slowed down. I learned a lot, my next body will be nicer for sure.

Almost done with my body. Two more colors and a backer are all that's left.
