Wow , jet engines ! And I love the fender flares Too !  I might change the Jet Engines to the Big X-Wing Engines. Planning on setting up the Chassis first and then I am going to position the Flares...  |

Looks like you are making it virtually breatheable  Looking forward to see where its leading to. |

The car won't need a spoiler or wing.....all those angled vents would act as a whole fleet of mini spoilers.....look out Dyson!

McScaren Rear End! The used McLapper body didn't have a Rear End. So I borrowed a Rear End from a complete kit and traced the shape on sheet plastic.  After a little more trimming and fitting I got the Rear End to fit pretty good. Next I cut a length of strip plastic and bent the ends down a little. Then I glued it in place.  Next I cut a length of thick strip plastic and glued it in the gap as shown.  Here is the Rear End after some more sanding.  More Coming...

Need More Vents!I cut a couple lengths of Stairs for the rear. Then I marked off 2 areas to be cut out.  I cut out the areas Then I used a sanding board to make a real nice fit on the Vents.  When I get a Tight Fit, I put the Vents in place and they don't fall out. Then I apply Zap-A-Gap to the Vents on the inside the Body. This makes a nice clean bond that is east to clean up.

More Power!I need more room to mount the X-Wing Jet Engines. So I added a piece of sheet plastic on the back of the Chassis.  Then I added a strip along the bottom.  Next I glued a piece of sheet plastic over the strip. Now the angle is right for mounting the Jet Engines.  More Coming...

Filling In...I cut 2 lengths of plastic strip and glued them in the sides of the Engine Compartment.  Here is McScaren on the Chassis with the new Engine Compartment. Just enough room for the Big Hemi.  More Coming...
