[glow=red,2,300]WE HAVE VERTICAL LIFT!!![/glow] Now we have a way of Beating Rush Hour Traffic! Turn on the Vertical Thrusters, Levatate the Rocket Van and then Kick In the Rocket Engines and you are Flying above the Traffic! I bored 2 holes in the chassis for the Vertical Thrusters and cleaned up the chassis for painting.  The Van will be able to Hover above the display base! Here how it is done...  The Rocket Van will be supported with Steel Wire, attached to the base. The Steel Wire also fits in the Plastic Tubing that is glued inside the chassis... I used 3 pieces of Plastic Tubing for the chassis mount. Cut them to length and glue them in place as shown. Do the same for the Steel Wire Mount in the Display Base.  Here is the Finished Underside. The Tires have been mounted and the Vertical Thrusters are in place too. The Thrusters are made from Low Rider Wheels! See the hole in the center of the chassis, it's the hole for the Steel Wire...  |

[glow=red,2,300]ROCKETS INSTALLLED!!![/glow] I added a Bullet to the Front Engine and mounted it in place of the BiG VW Badge.  These Engines are from the AMT X-Wing Fighter kit. I added 2 Engines in the rear too!  |

Are you adding more engines to the two holes you cut into the lower part of the enging hood?

[glow=red,2,300]EXHAUSTED!!![/glow] I made Exhaust Pipes for the Ferrari part of the Engine with Thin Wall Plastic Tubing. I added a short piece of Thick Wall Tubing inside to increase the glueing surface...  Here are the Exhaust Pipes in place with the insides painted Flat Black!  Just a few more details and ROCKET VAN is Finished... |
