[glow=red,2,300]FITTIN' IT ALL IN...[/glow] I cut the drivers legs and removed a little plastic, so I could bend them into better positions. The right leg is forward for the gas and the left will be back a bit.  Here is the basic set up for the Interior.  I like the little 911 Console, it looks like it was made for the car.   |

[glow=red,2,300]WILL HE FIT?[/glow] Most of the body work is done and the body is primed. The basic chassis is set up and the interior is mocked-up. Let's see if his BiG head fits in the car...  YEP!!! He fits in there just right!  |

[glow=red,2,300]COOL WILLY IS BACK!!![/glow] I made a figure just like this one for my "Willy's Deal" model. I needed to add a little width to the body, so I cut pieces of plastic and glued them on the sides as shown.  I added putty and sanded the shoulders smooth. The arms were then glued in position.  I cut the shoes from another figure and glued them in place. I also carved the Seat and Driver to fit as far back as possible.  Working on fitting Cool Willy's Head now...  |

[glow=red,2,300]WE GOT WHEELS!!![/glow] I cut plastic tubing for the axles. Both axles were glued to the bottom of the chassis.  Here are the BiG Wheels & Tires mounted in the axles...  Rear View...  |

[glow=red,2,300]CHASSIS DETAILS...[/glow] I found a Crash Shield and a Front Axle in the Killer Bee VW Kit that are perfect for Mud Bug!  After a little filling and triming the axle looks like this...  Here is the Front Axle and Crash Shield in place!  |
