  1. Hi Mark, thought I'd send you a private message. Yeah, I was really hoping for a kind of a GS/resto mod thinking it would be a different take on this car but those slots just didn't work out for me. I started by drilling a hole at the top and bottom of the slot ten one in the middle which pretty much took out all the plastic then I cut out what was left of the plastic in the slot. I then took a round file cleaned up the top and bottom. Then I used a small flat file to clean up the in-between, but really the thinnest file I have is too thick. Anyway, it came out really pretty good. BUT, it was a disaster to get the next one to look identicle and thats when I gave up and puttied up the holes.

    So now I'm torn between just making a Drag race car or something else. For an authentic drag car the exhaust system really needs to be removed to I'm gonna be interested in how you remove yours. I would think you will also have to remove the gas tank (GS as you know has a fuel cell). 

    BTW, a guy on ebay is selling a body only of this model on one auction and the chassis only on a seperate auction.

    Anyway, I hope your OK with my rant.

    Have a good day.

    Mike
