How did you scribe the wheel well lines? I always have trouble trying to do that...Rett

Rett first I made a pattern from a piece of paper plate and went around it with a sharpie, then I scribed it with the back side of a #11 exacto knife, and then followed that with my scribing tool. I used a saw to cut up to the scribed line and then a needle nose plyers to bend the plastic at the scribed line until it separated and then you just twist and remove. I made the openings a little too big so I will have to go back and fix them
Is this one going to be a replica or a fantasy. If replica I could suggest the great Jack Ingram -
That is just about the last operation I do during a build. Interesting how we all do things different. I will watch and see how you do this one as I have a couple of these kits stacked around. It will give me a good idea if I want to retain the kit chassis or match it to something else but you have seen the nutsy ways I do things. I still want to do one of these over a Tri-Five Chassis.
MarkJ, what do you use to fill in the area of the wheel openings on the body?
