Some inspiration:
In stock configuration the heavy battery hangs way out to one side but without the drive-shaft running to the front the battery tucks right in towards the middle:

I knew I liked you Alan........I'm subscribed.
I know you've been driving it already...........:picsorban:
Light is not merely the absence of darkness.
It's already got bumps and scrapes. I'll try to find a dry spot to snap some shots today.

First off, the obvious scale faux pas':
Bodyposts. Excuse: We're gonna be racing these..... And I'm lazy.
Wipers facing the wrong way. Excuse: I'm a lazy idiot.
The build:
-Centre of wheels painted gloss black.
-Body painted copper inside and out (a JKRC technique), then primer grey, mustard yellow, and finished with the Plasticoat. Details with the red and camo paints.
-This body has some beautifully rounded lines so all the light-decals ended up quite wrinkly but a hairdryer and some hot fingertips took care of that.
-The brakelights are hooked up to a tilt/inertia-activated mercury-switch and work a charm. Thanks, Matt C, for recommending that I go to a larger size switch.
-Race-mirrors.
-Tow-hooks front and back.
-Tailpipes.
-Custom license-plate (kinda).
-Roll-cage.
-Race-seats made from tin and red duct-tape.
-O-ring steering-wheel.
-Alternating coloured light emitting from under a curved dash.
-A sexy little driver in a retro race-suit who looks like Matt C's wife.

That looks awesome Al. The paint looks amazing, and all the nice details. I like porsches more now thanks to you. Dig the cute driver too
The backwards wipers ruin the whole thing though. Ha. Thats something i just would never have noticed.
Please make some vids when you guys start racing these.

Wood is good.
Wow. That is amazing. Can't wait to see it. Would like to see more information about your brake switch.
The bar sure had been set high by your guys with these builds.
