I made a few changes to Tom Daniels' cool design for this model. Made a "rat rail" with a tarantula theme. A partial list of modifications include:

- dechromed everything

- used big and little plastic spoons for a scoop spider body

- molded lower body together

- eliminated the radiator shell and headlights

- added a tape racing harness and plug wires

- took the front wheels and tires from my parts box

- used sewing pin heads for eyes

- made a push bar

I wanted to turn the exhaust down to look more like spider legs, but ran into a few problems. Comments welcome!
