A revisit to Ferrari Friday, just lowered the front and rear of this Mattel Elite, what do you think?

Thanks Dennis
much better... guess I will have to do the same to mine!
The front is easy, simple spring blocks but the rear is fixed, no working suspension, and has a metal straight axle connecting the two rear wheels. I removed the rear wheels and the axle from both. I built a spacer (clay)to hold the rear of the body at the desired height and glued both rear wheels to the suspension piece and let set for 24 hours. I used Model Master's Cement water soluble glue so I can always change it back too. Good luck, it's easy just be patient and let clue set.
