Ira Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 MAKIN' ROOM FOR THE BiG ONES!!! I'm cutting away more body and undrbody to make room foor the Engines. I cut about 3/16th of an inch off the both edges of the Underbody including the 2 Fins... I cut out 2 New Larger Under Fins from sheet plastic... Here are the New Under Fins glued in place! Next I cut out more of the underbody to make room for the Engines. I cut a little too much from the body so I put in a 1/4 inch patch. That should be enough room...

Ira Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 NEED MORE INTAKE!!! I decided to extend the Intakes so that the front 1/2 inch of the Engines fits inside the Intakes. So I cut some more of the Intakes off the old Jet Model. Next I cut the New Intakes down to fit the Pegasus. Here it is glued in place. I glued a piece of sheet plastic to the underside of the Intake to finish it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 SHAPING THE INTAKES!!! I have marked the bottoms of the Intakes for Cutting. I will cut along these lines with a razor saw. After cutting I glued these two pieces of plastic over the cut areas. Then I carved the plastic down to the shape of the Intake using a Dremel Tool and sanded it smooth & even with a Fileboard. Next I cut the bottom of the Intakes and did the same thing to the bottoms. Then I did the same thing again to the sides... Here are the Intakes with all four sides done!

Ira Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 BARS UP FRONT!!! I found this part in the parts box. I think it is part of a tail light assembly... I cut the two ends off and glued them in place as shown! Here are the Intakes after a little sanding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
