They sell a specific body putty for models at any hobby store. Think "scale" bondo...I see no reason why that wouldn't fill your pocket flares.

Having a set of custom decals made, they should ship out tomorrow. Found "Killer Vinyl" at RCcrawler.com's forum. Mike was very helpful and patient with me. He's even cloning my custom plates. Here's the artwork (not respectively scale)...




More paint tomorrow and hope to have the decals by the end of the week!

Here's some shots of the paint work today. Still need to do body tub and roll bar. I'm thinking black hockey tape for roll bar padding.










I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. There's still plenty of cleanup to do before the clearcoat.

I cannot wait for the decals to arrive!

Speakers are glued in. That's black hockey tape for roll bar padding. It looks awesome.

Alright I need to get this crap out of the kitchen, my gf is getting pissed.

WOW these are crappy pics!

When this is finished I might look into a Superduty high lift. They're awesome stock out of the box.

...but to finish this I need: a Frame! axles, links, springs/shocks, servo, motor, radio controls, wheels, tires, etc. I really wish I knew what I was doing.
