[glow=red,2,300]PORTHOLES!!![/glow] I thought Rocket Van Needed some Portholes so, I measured the space and traced a couple of holes...  I started the holes with a #11 X-Acto Blade and then I used a Ream to open up the holes. I have some chrome wheel rings that fit these holes if I decide to add trim to the Portholes later...  |

[glow=red,2,300]BiG EXHAUST!!![/glow] I reamed out a couple of holes in the Tailgate for the Ferrari Exhaust...  Next I glued sheet plastic behind. This makes attaching of the Exhaust Pipes easy.  I will probably cut the length of the Pipes down later...  |

[glow=red,2,300]ROCKET POWER!!![/glow] I found some Brake Drums that are about the same size as the X-Wing Engines so I attached them on the rear...  These will be Great Mounts for the Rocket Engines!  |
