catastrophy

A few days ago I glued the top half of the car to the undertray. It didn't go well. It didn't fit, and left a pretty good gap (at least 1mm) between the top and the bottom. I worked on this a lot, as it turns out, it wasn't good enough, but anyway, it's much better, I'm sure, than it would have been had I not done so many modifications


Glued on the lower wishbones


Then the pushrods


Then disaster. Observe how the left front wheel doesn't touch the ground.


Nor does the left rear completely touch the ground. In the process of assembly, the pushrod became detached from the lower left wishbone. If the pushrod were still attached, I'm sure the wheel would be much higher and the look would be much worse


Furthermore, even if I could get the front wheels even, the undertray of the car would still touch in the front as can be seen here.


This rear wing element is a bright spot. Rather than use the white decal, I elected to mask and paint an area blue. I masked well, and it looks brilliant with the bottome of the Petronas decal applied.
