Cut It Out!I decided to cut out the recessed section of the old Tailigate area. I used the Cut Off Wheel and an 1/16" Drill bit for the cutting.  Next I filled the opening below the Tailigate area with a strip of plastic.  Then I cut off the excess and sanded the area smooth.  More Coming...

Grill!I am sanding the edges of some plastic strip to make the rear Grill Bars.  I cut the Horizontal Bar first and glued it in with Zap-A-Gap.  Here are the Vertical Bars in place.  More Coming...

More Lights!I removed the chrome from the grill and glued it in place. Then I measured for the locations of holes for new High-Power Lights.  I started the holes with an X-Acto Knife then I opened them up with a Reamer.  More Coming...

Thrusters!I am adding Thruster Engines to the Dodger. These are from the little MPC X-Wing Fighter. I used the Circle Template to draw the Hole Lines.  I started the Holes with an X-Acto Knife and opened up the Holes with the Reamer.  More Coming...

Recessed Lights!I cut some sheet plastic to fit behind the Headlights and the 2 New Lights. Instead of using the stock Headlight Housings I'm going to attach the Headlights to the New Plastic Backing. This will recess the Headlights about 3/16".  I also backed the Holes for the Thrusters the same way.  More Coming...

Floorboards!I made paper templates for the floorboards and when I got them to fit I traced the shapes on to plastic and cut them out.  Next I bent the larger part to fit over the Tubs better and then I glued them both in place.  Then I cut a length of Half-Round Plastic Rod to fit and I glued it in place as shown.  More Coming...
