I think an original shell would definitely look better... but apart from that it's amazing!!! Great job!!
It's a Pro-line Class 1 single seat buggy that was an original body for the RC10 and Ultima in the mid to late 80s. It was used by a LOT of people back then, including myself and my brother, and still is a favorite of mine. They are virtually impossible to find, and this one was seriously hacked up but unpainted when I found it.

I actually had trimmed a stock Protech out and mounted it up but I still really don't like the way they look on tub chassis cars (the side pods flex up slightly).

This was the exact look I wanted—old meets new—in many ways. If I could figure out how to get the wing about 4-5mm lower, I'd be thrilled.

One of the "pro" cars from back in the day...
