MikeMc Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I will never build anything stock....somebody already did that...why again? This is my inspiration, but I am not a flat paint kind of guy, so I will listen to this as I cut and it will tell me what color /colors it wants to be covered in. This one will run steelies and whites as they seem to fit the Ardun flattie the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Very nicely done.This should answer a few questions about chopping and sectioning.I like the use of the tape and the primer.I prefer to use super glue on body modifications though. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Those are some excellent cuts! I'm surprised the hood came back together so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work. Those are some excellent cuts! I'm surprised the hood came back together so well. Thanks Mikes!! The reason I get such good fits is the welding action of tenax.....others just do not weld correctly. I do use CA with accelerator for some repair work,but for chops It dries too hard and britlle unless you pin it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else actually realizes that super glue and accelerator isn't all that great for doing major body mods. Thank You! Very good job on the mods, I'm waiting anxiously to see where this goes.
