The Engine Side Panels are the next things to modify in this conversion. I prefer to remove the original Side Panels at the rear line just before the Cab Vent, replacing it with a piece of plastic stock of the same width, lengthened to 1-1/2". Carefully cut the "V" from the leading edge of the original AFV Club Engine Side Panel and glue it to your new Panel. Use
.025" round styrene rods to make two new Lock Latches and three Hinges for each panel.
