Metalmad Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Here are some more updated pictures. Finally was able to find a bottle of Pledge Floor Wax this morning so i could use to attach the photo etched screens to the clear parts & then install to the vent openings & was also able to wet sand the first couple clear coats & shoot a few more coats of clear on the body & body panels.

Metalmad Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) More progress this weekend ! Applied more of the decals to the body the third brake light & the Lambo hood emblem & the emblems on the wheels plus the decals for the brake calipers. Chose some of the decals over the PE parts because I think they look better on the car. Was also able to rub out the clear today but the roof needs a little bit more work though & was also able to mask the windshield and the four small side widows and paint the black for the trim.

Foxer Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 That paint really accents the body contours well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well I polished out the body & panels again and it does look much better now.I will start on the rear tail light assemblies next and touch up the black trim that is painted on the widows & start on the final assembly of the doors also. Thank you all for looking at the progress of this build & the inspiring comments to keep me on track and to be patient while building this Lambo.

Metalmad Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 More progress today! Got the headlamp covers on & the rear plus the side panels & side vents for engine cooling & brake cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Made a little more progress this afternoon, got the door sills & side vent assembly's installed & the engine compartment cover & the side glass on both sides. Been having a little trouble installing the three glass pieces that sit over the engine compartment & attach to the under side of the hatch, they are at an angle & sit in recessed slits one on top of the other so going to hobby store tomorrow to see If they have any CA glue that will not fog the clear plastic pieces.

robiwon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Great build so far. Your doing a great job. For the rear windows try using Micro Krystal Kleer. It's made for clear parts. If you want to use super glue, dip the parts in Future. This helps to prevent fogging. Fumes from the CA are your enemy, keep airflow moving over the parts until the CA sets using a small fan. Looking forward to seeing this completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Went to local HS yesterday and was able to get a odorless CA glue to glue in the rear deck windows which I may do this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally have the three piece glass installed & installed to the rear hatch & also have the door glass in & the door panels installed to the inside of the doors. Still have to install front & rear side marker lights & seat belts & belt latches & windshield etc....etc mostly small details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have finally polished out the side mirrors & have the PE mirror parts installed also & the PE parts look nice installed & also picked out a license plate to install.
