Cars (and Trucks) 2024-25

Here’s a link to the full WIP thread. And here’s the short version:

Got the frame and most of the rear suspension built up tonight. There are some mighty small parts in here, and it was a little frustrating – some of them fit with a locator pin so tight you almost don’t need cement, while others don’t even have a reference mark to let you know where to glue 'em on. I found the trick was to work rather fast, so that you could make adjustments to earlier steps if a later step revealed an error.

Mostly the same story for the motor itself, although with careful study of the instructions it did go together just fine… with a lot of tweezers use. :nerd_face:

Next, I gotta fit the engine to the chassis, and then the firewall and deck can go in… but when and how to paint? That’s where I’m a bit stuck.
