I was given a marx 3/16th tinplate boxcar, the green GAEX 1950 one. However the former owner put lionel trucks on it and I want to restore it with the original trucks. He put them in with screws and secured them with nuts inside the car. My question is this, is there an easy way to get inside the car? I see a lot of tabs but not sure how to go about it without ruining it. Has anyone done anything similar?
Thanks in advance
Bruce

Only way to really go about it and do the job correctly is to gently push the tabs straight .

This ^, and do the minimum amount of slow bending or twisting to reassemble the car - you don't necessarily need to bend them at a full 90 degrees to hold the car together.
