How did you cut it? somekind of thread saw technique? Becuase it seems you didnt loose a lot of material.

For the bonnet I used a craft knife, for the wings (fenders) a mixture of a razor saw & a Dremel

Mk.2 Scorcher (with re-re bumper, rear cage, exhaust, wheels & tyres) will act as a mule for this build ...






Cut down sill being glued on to ABS sheet ...






Starting on very basic wheelarch liners...

You are definitively CRAZY!
I'm sure that the result will be a kill

glue- i use e.m.a plastic weld cement it works great. what do you use???
the plastic you using i could do with fixing some of my body`s with it the source of finding the thin stuff where can you buy from????

Glue is just regular plastic kit "poly" stuff; styrene sheet came from eBay e.g. item # 171068324906

I did a bit of trimming/shaping of the inner arches + glued the right sill & nose back on ...





Test fit of the body so far ...






Note how the nose is now lower & narrower ...






It took a couple of attempts to get a card template the right shape, but the styrene firewall is now in:

Jon your a brave man cutting up that scorcher shell i would be very nervous doing it
but have to say it looks pretty dang good so far a very brave project but i think you can pull it off.

Cutting it up is easy - it's looking at the rather minimal shell left at the end & wondering where to start putting it back together that was a bit scary

Boot floor fitted, not exactly as the 1:1 car but it'll be hidden anyway ... front end is now nice & stiff & not parallelogramming at all...







Sun visor cut out, bent & fitted:








Rear firewall was a little problematic - I really needed one of those pin block doodads you use to reproduce the shape of door architrave when you cut a carpet to fit a doorway (the correct name of which escapes me at the moment ), but I had to fake it ... it got a bit messy ...






... but I got there in the end






Rear firewall needs to be 3 dimensional, so had to be glued in stages ...







Fitting "ears" on the back end....






... no idea what is supposed to be between them, I guessed a wing

Another masterclass how do you progress so quickly
