INSTRUCTIONS

Make the parts

Size your stock to the dimensions indicated in the supplies list. Referring to the Plan View Drawings cut the various components to shape. It you intend to paint your piece you can certainly use plywood for many of the pieces.

Assembly

Begin with the Jeep body. First glue the front and rear pieces to the base as shown in the Jeep Assembly Drawing. Next glue the wheel spacers to the lower surface of the base in the locations indicated in the Plan View Drawings. Attach the front and rear wheel wells to the side piece, centered over the wheel spacers. Sand as necessary.

Referring to the Rear View Detail Drawing, glue the hitch in place, centered under the rear bumper. Bore the 13/64"-Dia. hole which will receive the spare tire axle pin as shown. Referring to the previous instructions, make the five wheels for the jeep.

Glue the seat bottoms to the seat backs (as shown in the Final Assembly Drawing) and install them in the jeep. The angle of the seat backs should be about the same as that of the opening cut into the side pieces.

Finishing and final assembly

Make sure all surfaces are sanded smooth. Paint the jeep as desired. Install the wheels by gently tapping the axle pins into the 13/64"-Dia. holes as shown in the drawings.
