mountaindewd Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm also having problems hingeing the suicide doors because the seats will be in the way of the arch of the hinge pin. I'll figure something out... Have you tried to reverse mount the hinge? I don't which way you were trying. Either the pivot secured to the inside of the door or the inside of the body.

Deathgoblin Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Looking good so far! I need to get another one of these. I had one, way back when, but it went with the rest of my car model collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northendmetalallstar Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Got some more work done this weekend... Wheels finished with Alclad Since I was stealing the tires out of the '40 Ford kit, I thought I would use the hinges as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I keep thinking of the video for "Sharp Dressed Man" Well you are a little up on me, I never had MTV or cable until they stopped playing Video's on the MTV . How sad is that. LOL I just like the older sound from ZZ Top a little bit more than the newer stuff .

gasser59 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Funny, I've been hearing "She Loves My Automobile." Love this kit, I have one without fenders in my diorama and another on the shelf for a rainy day. I'm all in on watching this one come together. The alclad is a great improvement over the chrome.

Zarana-X Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Excellent. I built this as a kid, and I remember the ill-fitting roof, and the stock exhaust molded into the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
