Step G-2
1. After Painting, trim the Body (159) along the trim lines (as
shown in Figure 62, emphasized by the dark shading), there is an
indented trim line around the body which can be used as a guide for
trimming.
2. Make five 1/4"-diameter holes at the locations marked with
dimples. There are two on the front hood, two on the back bed, and
one on the roof. These will be the body mounting and Antenna Tube
holes.
Step G-3
1. Trim the rear Spoiler (160) along the trim lines as shown in
Figure 63A.
2. Cut a piece of Two Sided Tape (156) approximately 3/8" wide.
3. Apply the Two Sided Tape along the bottom, on the back side
of the rear Spoiler. Remove the backing from the Tape and affix the
Spoiler to the Rear of the Body (159) as shown in Figure 63B.
4. Install the assembled Body onto the Chassis and secure it with
four Body Clips (155) through the posts on the rear Shock Tower
(55), and through the Body Mounts (151) on the front Shock Tower.

BODY AND WING PAINTING
Prepare the Lexan Body and Wing for painting by washing them thoroughly (inside and out) with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry both
the Body and Wing with a clean, soft cloth. Use the Window Masks (161) supplied to cover the windows
from the inside
. A high-quality
masking tape should be used on the inside of the Body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the Body or Wing.
Use acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, or any other paints recommended for Lexan (polycarbonate). Apply paint to the inside of the Body and to
the side of the wing shown in Figure 63A. Remove the tape for the next color and continue. Try to use darker colors first. If you use a dark color
after a light color, apply a coat of white over the lighter color before applying the darker color. This will help prevent the darker color from
bleeding through the lighter color.
STICKERS
Apply the stickers after the mounting of the Body and Wing is complete. Cut the stickers from the Sticker Sheet (162) that you wish to apply
to the Body or Wing. Before removing the protective backing, find the desired location. Remove the backing completely and reattach an edge
of the sticker to the shiny side of the backing material. Using the rest of the backing material as a handle, position the sticker and press firmly
into place to complete its application.
