Ira Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Well Fitting! I cut down the Wells to fit the Dodger Body. After a little cutting & fitting the first Well fits pretty good. Next I glued it in place with Zap-A-Gap. More Coming...
Ira Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Flat Wells! The middles of the Wheel Wells curve in instead of being Flat. So I carved out the middle sections. Then I traced the middles on to sheet plastic and cut the shapes out. Here are both Wells glued in place. The new middle pieces are glued in and the Wells are now Nice & Flat. Top View. More Coming...

Ira Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 Ira, what did you do with the sides of the A100 you cut out? You've inspired me to build an A100 pulling truck and I could give them a good home if you still have them. Thanks Brian! Not sure yet...
