UNDERBODY ATTACHED!
I cut out a small section of the Underbody for Cockpit Access...
Then I glued in the rest of the Underbody with Zap-A-Gap...

CUTTIN' IT UP!
I used a Cut-Off Wheel in the Dremel Tool to cut along the Bottom Line. I cut the Bottom off first to put less stress on that section.
I left the Line on the bottom section so that I know how close to 1/4" the cut is. If you go past the Line you have lost that reference point.
The second cut was done the same way.
I put the body halves on a sheet of 100 Grit Sandpaper and Carefully Sanded the Cuts down Smooth.
Then I attached the body halves with Zap-A-Gap-Green Label.

TAPE MARKS THE SPOT!
When I put the Attempt Racer in the back of the Modified Transporter and it looked too tall. So I decided to Section the body about 1/4". I started by wrapping some 1/4" tape around the middle of the body...
I drew lines on both sides of the tape and then removed the tape...

WE GOT PRIMER!
Here is the Transporter with some Grey Primer/Filler.
You know, now that the Transporter has been Streamlined, I'm thinking that the Attempt Vette could use a little Streamlineing too...
TAILGATING!
After a little more sanding, I got the rear pretty smooth...
I cut a new Tailgate Back from the '59 El Camino part. Here it is in place!

SMOOTHING OUT THE REAR END...
After attaching the new rear end I ground down the excess plastic around the rear end with a Dremel Tool and Sanding Boards.
I cut 2 triangle shapes of sheet plastic to fill the area removed in the last step and blend the sections together.
Then I applied some putty.
