Stage 90 gives us the rear body.

We're on the home straight now, and this stage gives us the first glimpse of how impressive the finished car is going to be.

Firstly, attach the hinge clamps with 2 screws in each.

The outer side of the hinge clamp is stepped up.

Apply the clear tape to the front body between the hinge clamps.  This will protect the paintwork while you test fit the rear body.

Angle the rear body upwards about 45 degrees, and slide the hinges under the hinge clamps.

The body can now be dropped down flat and the hinges clamps will hold the hinges in place.

This completes the stage, and the model is now getting too big for my cutting mat.  You may get to see the embarrassing mess of my workbench outside the cutting mat!
