Modifying Lionel Tank Car Frame

I continue to work on that Lionel tank car and here I show how I added material to simulate a full frame with a bolster. 
The car is now on trucks and looks okay
The trucks operate with no binding so that is good. 
I added end sill fillers and then air hoses
An end view. 
On the test track, the car matches up well with the coupler height gauge. 
 
It turns out that the frame on the prototype car is painted black so that is the next step.
