Wheels on! The right front seemed a scale foot off the ground....Once the glue had set enough to put this little darlin' back on her feet, it was off with the right front and plug the axle hole (in the wheel) snip of the axle pin and relocate it! She now is standing on her "all fours". Threw some black paint on the running boards to simulate rubber matt and blacked out the marker lights and spotlight. P1012747.JPGP1012748.JPG

That is looking exceptionally fine Bro!!! To hell with the surfboards, the luggage in the roof rack does the job perfectly. Sorry to hear about the wheel prob, but you've mastered that too!!! My only suggestion is to give Fritz a couple of sammiches as he's been lying on that stretcher for days now and looks really hungry...Maybe a cold beer too!!!...

Prost

SURF'S UP!!!!....The long board has arrived, (scratched by yours truly) and Hans has decided to try it out! I got the dull coat on and we are moving towards getting the window glass in and the final details in place before weathering.....still waiting on the "fat" lady. ;) P1012749.JPGP1012750.JPG

Thanks Andy, at this scale I think it would be much easier as I just used a scale 8' length of plastic strip filed to shape and sanded....for the skeg I used a narrower piece with a "nip" out of it with a paper punch glued in place and done in about 15 minutes. ;)
