 Changed the tires, took a little bit of the crease out of the side, and removed the doors. Door openings are a bit further forward than the original position too. The "C" opening got a little more radius, to match the front door opening. Exhaust cutouts were filled and new exhaust routed underneath. Cut the intake scoops from the engine and re positioned them all to the same height. Cut the original cowl headlights and created tail lights out of them. A portion of the "housing" became the chrome generator on the engine. Oh, almost forgot; I didn't feel like detailing the engine, so I closed the opening to just fit around the intake and generator. |

The more I look at it, the more I'm wanting to get one and cut the doors out... (as if I'm not already back-logged with brainfarts..) |

Thanks!
My original intent was to hinge the doors, but I couldn't come up with a way to do it that didn't look "clunky".
As I looked at it with the doors cut out, it looked OK without them.

Wonderful build, Bill, great touch with the door opening!  But, sorry Bill, the rear wheels are, for my taste, something too small...  |

Well, it looks great without the doors, no doubt about that... But gotta agree with Bobby, I think it would improve the model, with rear wheels that are a bit bigger. Anyhow, it is still a very cool model, great build, and I like the modifikations  |
