The only thing in question is the scale. I was thinking 1/3, to compare with your'n. 1/4 would be less materials.

I'm now past thinking about renting a pickup.We need to see wake-filling on a
Beetle body (someone has to do it). And I may be past the unreliable part. I took the car to the shop and they replaced the fuel pump with one that didn't look right and the lever arm broke as soon as they started it up. The second one had the fuel lines hooked up backward (because it was also not a direct replacement) and it fell apart in his hands when he tried to reverse the connection. So the third one looks right (it has the gold-anodized dome on top) and seem to be working.

I guess I'd gotten used to reliable transportation.
