Quick update...
The Scorcher body is FINISHED!!
Now it's time to focus on the chassis and wrap this build up.

Thank you sir.
Here are some photos of the chassis with printed arms and rear guard assembly. I've designed the arms to yield a track width to match the Sand Scorcher's.

That's really come out nice
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Excellent work! Any updated pics for these two? Are they still that clean?

The short answer is no. Like most of the collection, they are covered with dust from setting on the shelf.
The boxart body was moved to the Sand Scorcher to finish that build.
The Blitzer Beetle has been converted to a boxart Stadium Blitzer and its orange/white beetle body was moved to the DT chassis.
This leaves one complete SS body set still in the box and I've been tinkering with a new paint scheme for it. I'm kinda, sorta, maybe slightly leaning this direction but it's still early so this will likely change:
There are other projects underway at the moment but maybe some day at least one of these will finally make to the track. Maybe.

Very cool! Need a Beetle family photo when you get them all finished.
