Default racer f312p body

at the risk of sounding stupid, i just finished a 312p body from racer's kit but found the body holes are huge and screws float in them. i figured that maybe they need to be filled and drilled but with what? please help!

The prepainted racer kits come with rubber tubing that you glue into the holes. If you have any spare electrical wire lying around, you can use a piece of the rubber insulation in place of the stock tubing.

Nice job WHEELS!!

I like the Sunoco livery. what paint did you use? it looks very nice and different from the regular Ferrar red. I kept mine red and decaled it. made the exhaust and tranny in the back end looks real good too i think. Ill have to figure out how to post pics to show some of my stuff. oh yeah today i went to Home Depot and got 1 foot of 12 ga wire so i could use the insulation to mount the body. Lady thought i was nuts!!!
