1. Score, cut out, and fold up the upper chassis. |
|
2. Score and cut out the lower chassis. Glue it to the upper chassis, being sure to orient it correctly. |
|
3. Score and cut out the main body, removing the wheels and black underbody areas. Pre-form as shown. Start assembling by gluing the nose and front decklid, but do NOT glue down the rear window yet. |
|
4. Score, cut out, and pre-form the rear decklid and windshield. Remove the black underbody from the rear decklid. |
|
5. Glue the rear decklid into the main body. |
|
6. Glue down the rear window, using the guide line on the rear decklid to align. |
|
7. Glue in the windshield. The top edge is glued LAST, and the front edge of the roof is formed down match the top edge of the windshield. |
|
8. Assemble the body to the chassis. Glue the rear part first, then glue the rocker panels to the chassis sides. |
|
9. Begin assembling the wheels by cutting out the wheel parts. Wrap the tread strip around a pen or dowel to curl it. |
|
10. Glue the tread strip into a ring, matching the ends of the printed area together. Glue the inner wheel face to one side of the tread ring. |
|
11. Glue the desired outer wheel face to the wheel assembly. Repeat for the other 3 wheels. |
|
12. Assemble the wheels to the chassis. |

Just follow steps 3 - 7 above (leaving the wheels and black underbody intact), then glue the underbody together and add accessories. |
