Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 each cabs different mate, but as a general rule i basicly cut the door out with a very sharp hobby knife just keep going over it time and time again, tend to take a few attempts, ,i have found resin ones are better to be honest, all the 500's are resin cabs, although this ford one is a origonal, which was broken ,so i reglued it and used this insted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerepower Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 question for the blue fans, do the rear screen on these open up by folding the lwer half first then the rest, or can they open in one peice so to speak?? on the real one you can open it without folding the lower half upwards but you'll soon get a shower of glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
