I finally picked an engine for the RatMad ,it had to be a big block ! I also cut some holes in the rear for the radiator .
I narrowed the rear bumper and hide the seam under the guards .
No they should be raised on the outside they had wood panels on the Lil'Red Express trucks.
There are some wood grain decals for them , not sure what to do with it yet?
Thanks Bob. If you are talking about the raised panels on the bed ? That is how they are. I only cut the wood floor out , and fit the stock car chassis to it.
