Smile EVO car body clip.

I broke a body clip and need another for a Gen 1 body. Got tired of trying to find them. So I made one. Here it is:

Looks like a broken one glued back together. Are you sure you made it?

I am sure I made it. Glued parts don't seem to hold up. Plus the one made is black in color. Need to see the process? Can post some pics.

he coulda made a mold of a normal one, but this is too mass-production looking and i can see the paint avoiding the mold seams

Should have just posted that from the beginning. Much more interesting to see that whole process than just the end product.

Nice work. Now get cracking on some dogbones!

Cheers,
Kyle

Dogbones: Made this for xmods truck with lift kit. Can't use just resin, breaks to easy. Used a small piece of aluminum as shaft seems a little thick. Not sure but I think it is affecting my turning on my truck.



Used molding stuff from hobbyshop. They also have something similar in Michaels. (craft store)

I couldn't do a custom body, I stink at that type of work. Plus the casting would cost to much. Would need quite a few people to pitch in. If someone had a body and enough people willing to pitch in ($$$) I would give it a try.
