Plastic Axle!I made an Axle from plastic tubing. One long tube that goes through the Gyro Box and two larger - shorter ones, one on each side.  I cut the end off two Ball Point Pens to make two larger Axle Sections that fit over the first two. The fit right in the centers of the Indy Vette Wheels.  Here are the Wheels glued to the Axle.  More Coming...

Up On Two Wheels!I am using a "Burner Cover" from a stove for a Base. The Lid to a Metal Tin Box would work well too. I marked the spots for the Drilling Holes and then drilled holes for the Tire Bolts. Next I bolted the Tire Bolts to the Base.  Here is the Dodger on the Base!  Rear View...  More Coming...

Dirty Base!I wanted to add some Texture and Color to the Base. I started with 2 Wrinkled Paper Towels and White Glue.  Next I brushed White Glue all over the Base. Then I spread the paper towels out across the Base and wrapped the excess inside the Base.  First I sprayed the Base with a Light Brown. Then I sprayed over the Brown with Floquil "Dirt" Paint. The Dirt Paint is Clear with Multi-Color Dirt Specks. After it dried I sprayed it with Dullcote.  Here is a close up of the Dirty Base.  More Coming...

Solar & Flames!I found a Revell Honda Hood Decal that looks like it would make a Great Solar Panel.  Here is the Hood Decal Cut to fit and applied to the area I scribed earlier.  The Flames are from the Revell 32 Ford Kit. I also added a R to a DODGE Decal to make it a DODGER Decal!  More Coming...
