The other day while driving to work, I noticed a VW Squareback running down the road. So I got to thinking, found a stl. file so I downloaded loaded it. After spending about 10 hours behind the computer, I managed to model up a chassis that looked like it would fit. Then for grins and giggles I attempted to model up a Subaru engine underneath the chassis with a 4-1 exhaust.
Got both to print out after having some difficulty in printing them out, had to do a repair stitch and close the areas between the triangles using nettfab software. Hopefully no one will notice my goof on the body, I scaled it down to .03125 instead of .03739. Darn metrics anyway.
I got the body cleaned out with the dremel and noticed a few areas requiring a little bondo, I guess I could call it a Barn Find and it had a little rusted out body panels.
I then got the slave wheels installed so that I could see how much more work will need to be done. Looks like the CAD program was right. But after a little plasti-card, bondo, and clear epoxy it looks like after a little more sanding, it will be ready for paint.
With the body mounts glued in place its time to move on. More later after a little more sanding and some paint.
