parki Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) This Is just being built with whats in the box, plus wiring etc. So a fairly straight forward build. It is going to be a custom Gasser. This is a great kit, but the body and parts a plagued with sink marks! so a lot of filling required! any ways onto the pics. The engine is pretty cool so will be used as is. Though the chrome will be stripped in my usual manner, and it will be wired. Now for pics of all those nasty sink marks! Three in the tailgate Sink mark in the front of the fender, and bad ripples towards the rear of it Edited April 16, 2012 by parki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parki Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) All the badges have bean removed, door and tailgate hndles shaved and fuel filler door filled. Filled the rear light recesses, as the lights will be in the bumper. I've also rescribed the trunk and door panel lines as they were not very well defined and would have been covered up with the primer etc. the result after lots of filling, sanding filling, sanding etc etc Edited April 16, 2012 by parki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
