OK I'm going to start by modifying the AMT front suspension starting with the upper a arms  Start by removing the steering arm this will be replaced with a thicker one later  Here is how it should look after I also inserted a pin to help attache it to the body  Before and after  The lower a arms need no modifications just insert pins into the end  Blurry shot of them pined to the body  The rear requires a little more work but not that much on the left is the upper Penske part and the lower is on the right for this build we need to reverse that the G-Force will use the lower as the upper and the upper as the lower ;D confused yet ;D  Here is the Penske part and the white metal one from one of Bill's kits this is what we want to replicate  Another shot of the two  We will start by cutting away most of the kit part we will only be using the top part of it  After the cuts will will only be using the part on the right  Isn't it cute?  After some more trimming cut a piece of .060 rod and drill a hole on one end to insert a metal pin drill another hole the Penske part  After that drys cut another piece of rod and glue it to the part like this cut the rod a little longed then needed so you can adjust the fit to the body  The new part and the white metal part not a 100% match but not too shabby ether  on the upper again I used the white metal part as a guide  The new part and the white metal part  The new parts and the white metal parts  The new parts just need some putty and finish sanding to knock down some of the roundness and then they are ready for primer Also big thanks to both Bill Jorgensen and Michael@indycals for their help with this project More later MB |

What ever happened to this project? I'm not trying to be a pest, but I really enjoy your WIPs.
