I REMEMBERED AN OLD ARTICLE ON HOW TO MAKE SWIVEL BUCKETS OUT OF SNAPS FROM THE FABRIC DEPARTMENT. THIS VIEW SHOWS HOW I GLUED THEM TO SOME WHEEL HALVES, BUT ENDED UP DRASTICALLY GRINDING THEM DOWN TO ACHEIVE THE SEAT HEIGHT I WANTED. THESE VIEWS SHOW HOW THE SEATS CAN BE SWIVELED. THIS PART DOUBLES AS FIRE WALL AND DASH FOR THE INTERIOR. SOME FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE CHASSIS.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! What's really fun about this is that a lot of these little custom tricks I'm showing are the first time I tried them, so we are all learning together. I did forget to show that I made the front steering on here posable, I need to see if I have some photos on that. The shifter handle was from one of the old Revell kits, I wanna say the outlaw? For the shaft I used a small piece of aluminum wire, bent to fit. Drilled the handle so I could crazy glue it in. You know it really resembles those handles on the plastic olive toothpicks, I wonder ....hehe
