Deeper I get into this project, more "ambitious" it gets. Cut out rear engine cover. Also decided to make front clamshell detached. So, done even more cuts.
Next was time to mix some Tamiya 2 parts putty and try to improve door fit. First photo shows small patches of putty I've applied. Second photo shows my first crude attempt to replicated exhaust pipes using donor 956 floor as a guide. Need to improve my putty forming skills for the future.
