I had this body 2 years now but I didn't have the time to put it on. It needs a lot of work and the other one was pretty good, so, now is the time....

THIS is previous version:

And here is on the bench, cutting the links to fit the chassis on the body length:

Fixing the body on chassis, back and front:

The body is steady on chassis... and now I have to start fixing the scale interior!

MORE pictures tomorrow!

TO BE CONTINUED....

P.S. this is the front bumper I will try to replicate:

... and the Project goes fantastic!
