  1. I know it has been a while since there were any updates on this, hope you are still monitoring this thread... Anyway, I am building a 1/10 scale RC '72 Riv. I have the body and it is vacuum formed ABS. I have started modeling new bumpers and grill and headlights, much like you did already. Any chance you'd be willing to share your 3d files so that I can modify them to fit this body at this scale? I say modify because this body has the overall shape but is in no way an accurate reproduction of the car. My plan is by cutting out the bumpers, grill, headlights and tail lights and replacing them with 3d printed versions, I can at least get it a little more accurate. This body is vacuum formed ABS (not the typical lexan that RC bodies usually are), so it isn't flimsy and cutting it won't weaken it and epoxying the 3d printed parts should be easy. If you don't care to share, I understand completely - a lot of your time went into this. I already have a few hours into just the front bumper; I am on my 7th version and heading to print the first couple of layers of it to check fitment (before printing the full thing and finding out it doesn't fit and wasting all the material). Again - completely understand if you aren't willing to share... no worries. --Mike
