    I know I use all sorts of sanders and die grinder or even the bench grinder to shape parts or body panels.Just have to be careful not to melt the plastic too much.

    Hi there just thought I'd give you some advice here .If you cut the fenders in half with a saw or sorts and add some flat styrene pieces between the 2 halfs of the fender you'll get the width your wanting plus use some filler to do the finishing touches.Hope that helps.

    I was curious to how many of you guys use modern cars parts in building older cars? For an example if you use a 2000 mustang or camaro for its drive train only and what do you do with the body after wards?
