I seem to have been in a funk lately with the model building but last night I got over to the workbench, cleaned off all the non-modeling stuff (only took 1/2 hr) then got some work done on the bug. Finished up the rearend and got the wheels and tires mounted.  Hosted on Fotki Hosted on FotkiOnly left on the front half is hooking up the steering linkage and I still need to install the seat and steering wheel. The engine is not glued in yet and I still need to decide on the hat for it.  Hosted on FotkiAlso did my first test fit of the body on the chassis to check for clearance and any fit issues and wouldn't ya know it, the opening in the hood wasn't big enough so out came the files and now everything fits like a glove.
