omg... the lexan on this is gonna end me...
i coulda just cheesed out and kept my original trim job using one lid and be done, but noooooooooo... i gotta try something fancy...
if everything on the tuber and the bodies were symmetrical, this wouldnt be nearly as hard. also if i didnt have to worry about ruining a now rare ae body...
the tuber is actually more symmetrical than the damn bodies, and it looks like there are slight variants to the protech 1's... i've trimmed away the evidence, but it seemed like the flared out section around the rear shock tower was different on the couple bodies i trimmed. but then again maybe thats because i've been up all night studying lines and curves, measuring twice and cutting once, then wishing i had measured one last time, or cutting on the wrong damn side of the sharpie line... lol.
one thing that always sucked about ae bodies were that they are so freaking thin at the bottom. that aint right.
i had to make a couple design compromises due to making little mistakes here and there, but overall i did pretty damn good considering i was using pre-trimmed bodies. i still dont know how its going to turn out. its got 4 different sections that are all multi-paneled.
but now that i've went through it, i could do it over again pretty decent with just 2 bodies. if somebody repros bodies or whatever i'll definitely re-do it again.
what color do you think would look better? full white or full silver?
i'm gonna go crash for a couple hours so i dont cut a finger off, then hit this hard again.
i sure hope i can get them out.
