JC, i have one. it's ok. i don't like the way the rear body panel and front lower section is seperate. i bought the LS brand just for the awesome set of aluminum rims
and halibrand style wheel inserts. i have the rest of the kit minus wheels if you want to trade for something.
the best way is aluminum tube or copper . i bought some at a local ace hardware store. use the side exhaust from the kit. cut off straight tube and leave about 1/4 inch
of plastic just past were the 4 pipes end. i used 5 minute 2 part epoxy and slid tubing onto the 1/4 inch of plastic. the epoxy will flow and fill gaps. comes out
not bad looking.
i had been watching a 1/24 scale cox chaparral 2e on e-bay . started at $2,500 and with a minute to go was at $4,950
in the last few seconds it went to the final price of $8,300 insane! item # 151236731465
i'm a auto body tech by trade. i would not use 1 part glaze putty. it will shrink. i use evercoat brand glazing putty 2 part , you add a hardener. will not shink and easy to
sand.
