  4. More Frame Mods... I cut off the last of the rear wheel wells with a cut-off wheel. Then I cut off the raised section in the front. Here is the underside after a lot of block sanding and clean up. I made a new floorboard from sheet plastic and glued it in place. More Coming...

  6. Good Morning Bill! The Beast is 1 3/4" High and 6 3/4" Long. More Body Mods Coming so, these dimensions can change at any time...
  7. New Frame Rails! I cut 2 lengths of plastic strip to fit in the rear Frame Rails. Here is one in place. Next I cut 2 more lengths of plastic strip for the front Frame Rails. Here is one in place. Here is the top of the Chassis with the strips in place. Chassis Underside with New Frame Rails. More Coming...
  8. Chassis Mods! I marked the Chassis for cutting open the Engine Hole for the New Big Allison Engine. Then I cut it out. Here is the Allison Engine in place. That is Big! Hmmmm, doesn't leave much room for the Driver... More Coming...

  11. More Pick Painting! I ended up using a Toothpick for the Vents and the engraved designs on the Arm Sections. As long as there is a ridge or line to follow the toothpicks work very well. You can also use a toothpick to rub off semi-dry acrylic paint. More Coming...
  12. Thank You Dr.! I'll be working on the Chassis and Ride Height next...
  13. Thanks for the Tip Glenn! Purple Power takes longer but it removes almost everything...
  14. Pick Painting! Sometimes I have troubles trying to paint small details with a brush. So I use a Wooden Tooth Pick to apply the paint. This technique works very well for dots, like for rivets or nail heads. I use tooth picks for gluing too, very useful tool. After painting the indentations on this part, I added plastic Rhinestones, available at most craft stores. More Coming...
  15. Great Progress! Wonderful Idea, Real Nice Work...
