FENDER BLENDING!!!

I cut 2 pieces of plastic and fit them in at the fronts of the Fenders...

Then I cut 4 pieces of plastic to fit between the rear of the Fenders and the Body. I made them oversize so I could carve them to shape.

 

Here it is after some trimming and sanding...

FOUR BiG ONES!!!

 

I carved out a half round shape in the rear deck and opened up this BiG Hole...

I cut 4 lengths of aluminum tubing, cleaned them up and glued them together.

Next I used a round file and made room for all 4 of the Pipes to come through!

Rear View...

Ira,

 

Great work as always.

 

I would suggest that where the exhaust comes out you thin the lip of the body instead of the notch for the outside exhausts. 

 

Keep up the good work.

CUTTING A HOLE...

 

I found an inner wheel that will be a perfect housing for my Frenched Taillight! So I traced it on the back of the Quad...

 

I opened the hole with an X-Acto #11 Blade, then increased its size with a reamer and last, I used the Dremel Tool for the final shape.

 

I positioned the wheel in as far as I could and then glued it in place.

Here it is with a little putty around the edges...

GETTIN' SMOOTH...

 

I started Smoothing out the Frame a little more by adding putty to the frame tube, behind the gas tank position.

A little more sanding...

Then I cut a piece of sheet plastic to fill in the area under the seat and glued it in place. Then I sanded it a little more...
