Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2014 9:06 amI roll my own also!
I will have to post some paper bodies - I made some super mods, tour type wheelan mods, and even some vintage asphalt mods out of paper. I think paper is great - provided you put in the hobby time, they are basically very cheap - almost free.
Looks like you could just extend the nose an inch or so and break a simple wedge to extend just past the guide flag - the sides would be triangular to match the wedge profile. It might hide the guide and act as a small diaplane type spoiler... Looks like it may fit?
Anyway, given the subjects and region you are focusing on - I would like to see you recreate the "Batmobile" - you know - that controversial ground effects 'Lincoln Mark' all out of paper. It looks like it wouldn't be a huge leap from what you are building already.
Thanks for these unusual build threads!

Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 10:32 amNice car. We had to run bumpers and nerf bars when I started racing in the 90s. Everybody complained so they took them off the cars. I was thinking about bringing them back on our 358 mods.

I use 9mil. glossy photographic paper with an HP Photosmart printer.
This is put together with the same basic principles of the late model at this link.
