John Teresi Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hello.......thank you all so very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them.......I cut the doors out and chopped the top 1/8 of an inch like the original model.........I hinged the tailgate........I modified the firewall like the original model......the firewall that Pete used was to small and did not fit correctly .......so he used a postcard and alluminum foil to fill the gap around the firewall that he used..... I used the same method since the Clone program wants almost everything exactly like the original model .......I will hinnge the doors and work on the grill tomorrow.......thanks for looking Edited February 8, 2017 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
