My Project DuExt

i got to thinking about what i can do to my Cadillac EXT made by Jada. so i came up with the idea of a dually. as far as i know, no one has done this to a Jada

original



marking my cuts- where it is black is where i am cutting it out



here is the wheel wells cut out



the inner wheels and the axles i am using (small upfront and the large one in back)



i had to cut the plastic thing where the axle goes so that the wheels will fit on the axle, i also drilled a whole straight through the inner rim



here are the wheels on the car







Comments are welcome (good and bad)

Very creative. Not sure how I feel about it yet though. But nonetheless, I commend you for your originality.
