Hey Slotheads!
Probly cant call this a custom, but with the limited availbility of narrow X2 stock car bods, this will be a different bod for our x2 class that starts racin' Oct 9. The FF JL Charger lost the blower, gained a dirt type hood scoop, then the hood got some satin black Krylon. I ground out the Xtrack mounts, cut the x2 mounts out of a Lambo filed em a little and just glued em in with a chassis with oversize tires after getting the wheelwells radiused. Then glued in a couple chassis supports and just slapped some vinyl decals on it.
I do use the adapter clips that are out there also, but this method makes that bod snap on just like a standard x2. Chassis before modification and the Lamborghini I hacked(sorry Joez) came from Coach-Thanks Dave. The remaining roof and nose from the Lambo will be used on other projects.

Nice job on the charger. I like the JL body, but never liked the big blower on it. It seems out of proportion and a little hoakie. Your conversion came out great!

Hey slotheads-
Thanks for all the comps! I sure value yer opinions and ideas on the stuff I post and will try to get more in here. Man Roger I've thought about the X2 non magnet thing that some clubs do, if I remember right Sundance told me their club does that with Dirt Late models, but I can wreck perfectly fine with magnets, so I aint had the guts to try it-LOL. Got a couple tore down on the bench that maybe I will forget them on one just for laffs!
Thanks again for the responses!
