Rear skid. Touch up is needed. I got a little fustrated and had to walk away from this stage

I made the door jams with multi-put 2 part epoxy
All i did was put some petroleum jelly on the parts i did not want the pox to stick to. Dry fit the interior tub and chasis to the body and push the pox into the door jam and shaped it to what i wanted. When cured, the body poped right off the pox area and i had door jams

More shaping with putty is needed to finish.

Doors next

I taped the door back in place
http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/lanesteele240/BD15C406-3310-4E2E-8F03-52F1ACEE4BD0_zpso7iy6l4l.jpg (http://s881.photobucket.com/user/lanesteele240/media/BD15C406-3310-4E2E-8F03-52F1ACEE4BD0_zpso7iy6l4l.jpg.html)
Then i added flat stock to the back of the door inner

Then i snipped off the flat stock till it fit correct and glued it in placehttp://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/lanesteele240/E4CD52EC-BF93-4E6F-92DE-52926DB1E3C2_zpswuduhy5i.jpg (http://s881.photobucket.com/user/lanesteele240/media/E4CD52EC-BF93-4E6F-92DE-52926DB1E3C2_zpswuduhy5i.jpg.html)
Here i did the same with the pox to the door.

Remember you can smooth multi-put with a damp finger. Also any pox that got on the door in a undesired place can be easily washed off with a water damp towel. It is way hard tomsand that stuff off after it cures. A wet handle of a brush can also be used to smooth out the epox

Roll cage
http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/lanesteele240/D87812D0-00FD-43B3-B56B-63A528B561FE_zps0d5gg79f.jpg (http://s881.photobucket.com/user/lanesteele240/media/D87812D0-00FD-43B3-B56B-63A528B561FE_zps0d5gg79f.jpg.html)
I added the white roll bars

Good work mate!
I really appreciate your wip so far and the detail you are giving about your work

I have always wondered how these blokes do these door jams and making the door panels fit properly, I've never really used milliputt, so cheers mate!!

I added a shifter that i robbed from another kit

I added some string to make a set plug wires and glued it down with future

I may cut the rear hatch out so all the detail will show.

There is a decal that goes on the back glass that will cover mutch of the bay

I spent 1 hour putting carbon on the the vent thing but now it wont be used

They were a hoot to put together
If you ever get a set of these, put the belt part on the buckle part and then cut the buckle off the spure

It is starting to take shape


This is how i figured best to add the belts to the metal parts.

Great work so far

Sorry for the break but i had to spend some time with the wife

I fixed The hatch with some flat stock
http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13/lanesteele240/F19107EB-B25E-4D1A-8E28-A4FE687FE3EA_zpsdwbgblei.jpg (http://s881.photobucket.com/user/lanesteele240/media/F19107EB-B25E-4D1A-8E28-A4FE687FE3EA_zpsdwbgblei.jpg.html)

I added the vent parts and It looked good till i sprayed some primer on it. I knew the ca filler would need some more attention though

I just glued the outside to the rotor. I have been down the full pe rotor road. It leads to wheels popping off out of thin air and u dont even ser it if you put the wheels on

I got around to finishing the intake tubes

I had to repaint the interior. It turns out it is sliver instead of black. While i was at it i scratched a console and made the shifter more like it should be.

To match my first build i have go get some racing white. I some how picked up bright white. That is going to be a small hold up since my lhs is a long trip. Well i have to finish the under carrage and assemble the chassis and figure out what im going to do about the side glasses. �� that is going to take some head scratching

I miss looked at where the net part of the window net was. So i remade both the inner and outer nets.
