Hey smoke, I need help converting my eclipse body

[CRAZYAZN]

Whoever's username is smoke, or anyone else who can help me convert a 1:25 scale car, I need some help. (I ask for your help smoke, b/c I noticed that the model body I got looks almost identical to yours.) So please, I basically need a tutorial or instructions and/or tips on converting my car.

im not smoke but i can help, it is recomended you have a dremel tool and thin cutting discs for it and superglue or some kind of epoxy.

Compare the sizes of your xmod and your model car (i have a long chassis so i campared it to my supra) and mesure how much you have to cut to get the same wheelbase. then mark it with masking tape so you can cut a straight line with the dremel tool

after cutting it in half sand it down and get any unwated material off the body

then use super glue or epoxy to bond it back together

and then sand it to get the tow jointed places smooth
and then you have to figure out how to a front peice to put the front of the chassis and something to mount the back clip.

then paint away....


sorry i didnt get to take pics of my Eclipse while i worked on it because i didnt have a camera but it has the same process
