Hi, I have my body theme for the dragster.I've had it for awhile. I'am starting the form for the body tomorrow.Again it's the Avro Arrow. Same paint scheme,I haven't decided on the number yet. It will have a enclosed canopy that will open and the air intakes on the side. The design for the rear deflectors will have the delta wing alog the bottom. If some of you are not sure or don't know what it looks like,here's are 2 videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEeaomG32Dc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39hhkVRPi4g&NR=1.
