Or you could buy one off of www.scaleautostyle.com if you dont feel like making one.

can we collectively make a "how to" on making body kits, even if its just a basic list of things to do. as this question is popping up about twice a week.

but the main things you will need are as follows:-

Plastic card from local hobby shop (same material as kit)
Modeling putty (various types from milliput to tamiya epoxy to model filler)
sand paper (various grades)
Glues such as poly cement and super glue.
sharp cutting knife such as a scalpel or exacto knife.
patience
reference pictures.

use the plastic card to create the hard edges and reinforcement for the putty, it will save you a lot of time, be carful to let the putty dry out completely, try building up thick layers in smaller thinner layers otherwise drying time can become days!
put on more putty than you need to that you can sand the shape you need, but make sure your not blocking any needed details off.

make sure the body will fit onto chassis whilst adding putty.
and dont expect to make a great job first time round, it requires a lot of practise.
