The body is supper smooth and low profile. The one thing that I am not to happy about is how wide it is. It's about 1/4inch wide than my last years car. The chassis is all done also. the problem is here that it is quite a bit larger chassis than my last also causing me extra weight. The extension's are balsa so its not to bad. The chassy, body, wheels, and axle's weigh in at 1.6 ounces. I was hoping to be around 1.2.

You could always set a new trend with finger prints all over it that would be kinda different...depending on how think the paint is, that could give you the golf ball effect you were looking for...just kidding...what did you paint it with?
 
Disclaimer! This car is not even close to being ready and will not be at the CFC. I am still going to add a little more color to the body. Well let me know what ya think.

Yes I painted it. It was painted from the inside with just the normal dulicolor paint. It was not very easy, I want it to have a stripe but trying to mask it is very difficult. So I am going to have to stripe it from the out side, then clear it.
