This started with a 1:32 scale Porsche from Corgi and Endsville Eddie from the skateboard series.  I don´t have many pictures of this built. Here you can see the shortening and the widend rear wheel arches.  Comparison shots    |

Questions: What do you use to cut the metal parts? (I'm guessing maybe a jeweler's saw?) Or for that matter, what do you use to put the cut-up metal pieces back together? (Epoxy, maybe?) Just curious, since your "cuts and pastes" look very well done. Thanks!

I´m using a fret saw, a jeweler saw has an even finer cut I think.
You guessed correctly, I use an 2K Epoxy.

Just because I'm a nerd: Am I understanding you correctly, that you used a hand-powered (not electric) style of saw, originally made for Luthier's work? For cutting slots in fingerboards, for insertion of fret wire, on guitars and the like? If so, I think that's pretty cool in itself! |

Well, I suppose so. It is a handpowered saw. I had to translate the name of the saw from the german "Laubsaege" (literally leaves saw) and under fret saw I found matching pictures of it. Probably available at any hardware store  |
