The Spoiler!I decided to make a Spoiler for McScaren. I started with a piece of sheet plastic.  Next I cut the Sheet Plastic down to fit. Then I sanded the bottom edge of the Spoiler so when I glued it on it was on an angle.  Rear View.  More Coming...

Nose Brace!I added a couple plastic strips to the inside of the Nose. This will make a good Gluing Spot for the Chassis later.  Here it is with the Chassis in place.  I am going to make a new windshield so I puttied up the old windshield grooves.  More Coming...

FLAIRS!I cut the Fender Flairs off the ZZZZZ-28 Body so that I could add them to the McScaren Body. After a lot of Cutting & Fitting, I got a pretty good fit on the Rear Flairs.  Pretty good fit on the other side too.  More Coming...

Front Flairs!After a little Cutting and a lot of Fitting I found the right position for the Front Flairs. Here is the first one glued in place.  Here is another view. I will be definitely be doing some more fitting and Cutting on this Flair...  Rear View. Here are all four Flairs in place.  Tire Check! Here is a quick mock-up with some Deals Wheels Tires. I decided to use the DW Tires instead of the Die Cast GTP Wheels & Tires, because they are sooo Wide.  More Coming...

We Need More Vents!I trimmed the excess from the Tops of the Front Flairs and the Backs of the Rear Flairs.  Next I trimmed a little more off the Front Flairs...  Then I filled in part of the Tops of the Front Flairs to form 2 more Vents.  After a little clean up, the cut-off Rear Flairs formed 2 more Half-Moon shaped Vents.  More Coming...

Side Panels!I am going to build up the Side Panel with pieces of sheet plastic. This is the first piece, a triangular shape that fits between the Front & Rear Flairs.  Here is the second piece, the lower panel.  The third piece fits between the edge of the Front Flair to the bottom edge of the Side.  More Coming...

Holes & Gaps!I cut 2 pieces of plastic to fill in the Nose Sides. Then I shaped them with a Drum Sander Bit in the Dremel Tool and Sanding Sticks.  Then I fit 2 Moon Shaped plastic pieces in the holes on the rear fenders and glued them in place.  Applied some Putty.  Then I sanded it down with 220 sandpaper.  More Coming...

I like that idea for lowering it , but what does it do to the nose ?  It makes the chassis the same height as the nose... |

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! |

I sprayed on a light coat of Grey Filler/Primer and let it dry in the Dehydrator. Then I sprayed on a couple coats of Flat Black Primer.  Rear View!  More Coming...
