I posted this over on the 3RS forum with no results.  Maybe you guys over here can help me.

Am converting subject reefer to scale wheels and Kadees.  Need help on how to remove the body shell to get to the truck mounting screws.  There are no screws holding the chassis to the body shell.  Think it's tabs or similar.  Pried all around the bottom with first one and then two small screw drivers several times with a decent amount of pressure.  Shell didn't pop loose.  Chickened out at this point.  What's the secret?  Need help.  Thanks.

There should be one philips head screw at each corner of the underframe. They are difficult to see because the screws are countersunk so deeply. Try a flashlight pointing downward at each corner, with the car up-side-down, and you should see the four holes with the philips head screw deep down in the hole. The screws are actually "jis", but a good philips head screwdriver should work if you do not own any "jis"  drivers. 

Thanks Hot Water and Pete.  Turned the trucks way to the side and what to my wondering eyes should appear but four screw holes with deeply recessed screws located  about 1 inch from the ends normally covered by the truck side frames.  Now that I know where they are it's easy to see them thu spaces in the trucks.  Duh!  Thanks!!
