Lite and Narrow Column - 3
outside edge of the wheel well holes. Remove the wood. Trim
the floor piece to length and the glue it to the narrowed frame,
trimming off the excess flooring.
The ends of the car are a little tricky. Find the center of the end
and measure 2’3” from the center line on each side at the top
of the piece. Mark these points, as this will be the new width
of the car, 4’6”. At the bottom of the end, measure 6” on each
side of the slot and mark it. Draw a line from the top marks
and cut the excess from the end. Where the cut intercepts the
lower board, make an angle cut to the 6” mark and glue the
ends into place. Measure the distance between them and cut
the side boards to fit between them. To complete the cars, fol-
low the kit instructions.
