these model conversions are fun!! it was a little tricky getting the front clip glued back on. i was left with a gap a few mm wide wich i filled with some model filler, next time i will use epoxy. look at the fender you an see a rough seam, anybody have any ideas how to avoid that? to attach the body i used velcro strips over the battery clips and strips the inside of the body. this has worked well at keeping it on while driving. Thank you for all the feedback, next week i think i might start on a Datsun 510.
p.s. I used boyds spraypaint, it had a cool name "smoothster yellow"
