Assemble cross-members and frame rails as shown and let dry for a
few minutes. Frame may be painted at this time (see page 10 for color
detail). Gently spread front of frame rails and cement assembled
engine and engine crossmember #60 into place, then cement in
assembled radiator. Some manipulation will be necessary to locate the
fan into the radiator shroud, work while the glue joints are still flexible.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Scrape paint and chrome plating
off of areas to be joined by cement.

Be sure to use only paint formulated for use on styrene plastic.
Liquid cement may be applied with a fine 00 brush for neat glue
joints. Also, the new "instant" glues may be used for small
non-chrome — caution must be used when working with this
cement as it WILL cement fingers together as well as anything
else. Do not use on clear parts as hazing may occur.
If cement gets on an outside surface, use 600 grit wet-or-dry
emery paper to sand it smooth. Then press out some toothpaste
and apply it with a cotton swab, rubbing in a circular motion.
This will polish out the cement blemish. DON'T PRESS TOO
HARD! This also works on clear parts.
It is a good idea to wash plastic parts in mild detergent before
painting to remove all oils from your hands . . . the paint will go
on smoother and easier. Sand parts lightly before painting.
The color of the frame for the version of the Eagle duplicated in
this kit is a dark green. The V-800 engine is a metallic blue - the
transmission matches the frame. The interior of all Eagles is a
maroon color; the instrument panel is maroon with flat black
around the instruments. The steering wheel is black with silver
spokes.
