The body itself is not quite as smooth as some of the resin bodies that I have seen, a fussy person might want to wet sand it with 1500 grit paper. The complete body weighed 30.3g. By cutting away the parts behind the bumpers, thinning the sides and opening up the wheel arches I was able to get the weight down to 25g. There were a couple of small rough spots on the body that could have gotten a few minutes worth of sanding, but I did not bother with that. I decided to leave the bumpers the original gloss black, so I masked those off and painted the grills first with gray primer, then with gloss white and finally with Testors Bright Yellow. The body got one coat of gray primer and two coats of Testors Dark Red. When the paint was dry I tacked the bumpers in place with superglue and later reinforced that with a little epoxy. After 24 hours of drying I applied some Road Race Replicas waterslide decals and coated those with Future. After about 8 hours I shot everything with two coats of Krylon Crystal Clear. I let that dry overnight and topped things off with two coats of Future.
The finished body with mounts, vacuum formed interior and glass was 27g.
