....AND ITS A GOOD THING THAT I DID .   

While my nice red roadster body is in rehab (for a little paint issue), I figured I would go ahead and use the new body. So now I get to make the same mods again with a slight improvement for the bottom corners of the rear fenders but that's not final. Gotta see it in primer before I keep it that way. Comments and sympathy is always welcome 💩.

1/16" rod curled and shaped with my talented fingers. While holding the rod in position I hit it with solvent cement. CA is added later to the inside for reinforcement. Then I bent the corners. I had to "over-bend" the rod to reduce the spring power and hold it there while gluing and kicking it. IMG_8581.jpg.db94a8245c6214863bf0b4b13840c15a.jpgIMG_8582.jpg.33a3f19404046babd015bb6b6ba5f6e0.jpg

Time for some primer. Interchangeable parts was a pretty good idea, huh? Wasn't that Henry Ford?....nope....
