I finished cutting out the vision coupla hatch and machined off the edge for a clean surface to mount the split hatch onto.
On the rear I ground off the A3 door and puttied up the area to mount a Tamiya A1 door and air filters and exhaust pipes.
Up front I cut down the funky curve at the top of the transmission cover and glued on the Tamiya bolt bar at the top once I got it braced and fit in place where I felt it matched pictures. I still need to figure out a way to attach the cover at the top since I had to cut off the screw tabs that were there. Right now the cast hull sits kinda heavy on the cover and sags it down just a tad.

I would like to use the Tamiya hull clips, I have an extra lower hull clip but not the upper hull clip, I can make castings of these if anybody has an extra upper hull clip they could send me, Im not buying a couple trees of parts just for the clips.
