Thin to win axle pics?

[DJofSYN]

Does anyone have any pics of a thin car from the side? If a car is cut at 1/4" in the back and goes to 0 in front how will you drill the axles for the front? They would be higher than the car. Or am I misunderstanding something? I am in the process of building a district car and I'm trying to understand how thin I can go. The other question is the weights. I usually use 1/4" tungsten cubes but they would be too thick in this situation also. I noticed some things cars have a bump underneath the car and tape over it. Is this how you're getting away with it? Any help would be appreciated

Bulldog covered that really well in one of his videos. How to make a thin light body I think. It's in the premium content. We started by cutting out the weight pockets and then drilled all 4 axle holes. Then use a belt sander and go to town till you have what you want!

I couldn't find how to pay for the premium content. I looked again for it yesterday. Is it something I need to pm DD4H for? Or do I pm Bulldog,?

Cut the body 1/4. Hollow out your body. Drill your holes. THEN shape the nose with a sander. I cover the top of my weight pockets with 1/64 plywood like spacewalker does on his youtube videos.
