Thx for the advise fellas. Got the Frame Straight, but the chassis will not go in. Not sure how im gonna do it. Had i not glued in the wheel well cover, i think i could have got it in and touched up the paint after. Wish me luck...something is gonna break me thinks.

Thx Bucky.

Heres what ive come up with. Cut off the rear axle and springs. I got the chassis in with minimal damage.

I then cut about 3/16th of and inch on both ends of the rear axle, then glued in some round styrene. Ill drill holes in the wheels, cut off the excess round rod and re-glue everything back together.

Well see how it all pans out.

Hey guys, i wrapped this bad boy up this evening. There some things that didnt go as planned, had some fit issues throughout the entire build...even at the end. Radiator would fit...not even close, so some more surgery and its finally finished!

ACW fellas, hope ya like it.
