Hello Radicons,

I'm considering making a custom CW Bluestreak by swapping the torso front, head & neck panel and chest panel between a CW Prowl and Dead End to get an un-greebly sports car alt. (The left over parts will most likely become a quick CW Barricade.)
Has anybody attempted this before? Are there any hurdles in particular?

Any hints and tips are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

- Chris

 

Well, Smitty 1981 made one awhile back. It isn't like yours as his is a basic repaint.

 

I'm actually attempting something similar myself this weekend. I'm putting a dead end car body on a Streetwise torso tomake an RID Sideburn. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

getting the pin out and back in is the most difficult part. i did it with my jazz figure

 

Thank you, guys, much appreciated.
One thing bothering me is am I missing a screw in the torso, are there just the two at the hips?
(I ask because I very nearly mashed up my First Aid-into-Red Alert because I didn't spot his pec screw.

 

There should only be two screws at the waist, as the top half is help together with a long pin, which is under his wind-shield.

 

Thanks for that tidbit, Unclejoe, nice to know where the mystery pin is before prising gets going.
