In the third from last picture, the car looks truly elegant—stunning! Your work is requiring refined vocabulary to describe it (smile). I think I'm going to invest in the airbrush system.
Finally, at the completion of such an impeccable finish, I would be reluctant to take it outside for a drive, unless it was on new pavement with absolutely nothing within 100 yards...curbs, trees, etc...!!!
Wow Evo, you express your artistic emotions and feeling very well
Thanks Buddy, well done! I certainly plan to drive it at the club if only for pictures. Then put on those generic Mazda bodies for basic club racing

So this is my closes creation I can do in looks of old school DTM which survived some huge airborne battle scares.
A big learning curve now in TC chassis/motor set up against those ultra fast X Ray.
I dislike all those singular shaped Mazda bodies as well. They don't even look like the Mazda sedans driving around. I'm not sure how Mazda got the keys to the TC city like that. If it was my class to design the cars would have to look more scale and be actual models that are made like the BMW 335, Mercedes C Class, Audi S4...etc
When I was purchasing a few TC bodies like the Mazda GX, and Protoform R9-R, it was tough to decide as they all looked so similar... I have read and can understand each one has it's own handling characteristics, it's that much of a science. I told Aaron at the hobby shop to please escort me out of the store if I ever get to that point where I'm flossing between them for more front steering, or less
What is that body?
