I think it's time I try my hand at some scratch building. Guess I gotta get my feet wet at some point.

I really want to get it down as low as I can. I might just cut the rear tubs out completely and use thin styrene to give myself a little more room.

Nice work.

I was referencing the tub on one of mine, which might have been thicker. yours are way under that, especially after removing all that material. Main point is, it sits much lower, by taking a little more effort. Also, on mine, didn't take the effort to follow the body contours as well as you did. Nice touch of detail. Keep it up. This is going to be really good.

Ended up making my own wheel tubs. The other one were just to thick. Most of the roll cage is going to need mods or remade too.

Should look ok I think once I get some body work done on it.

Firewall fitted, had to narrow the rear end a little more to fit the wheels in and low enough.
