Jairus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Wow, Brian... is that real wood? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoPed Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Wow, Brian... is that real wood? :shock: Yep :-) I cut the back half of the cab off, leaving the floor and about 6mm of the back wall in place. For the woody body, I drew up a set of build plans for the side and rear frames, then assembled them from 1/32" basswood like a Guillow's plane kit. The rear floor is a single piece of basswood, and the roof is .040" evergreen. All total, I cut and used 65 seperate pieces of basswood to build the body. The frame is natural, the inserts are lightly stained, and it is all covered with clear urethane. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 That car is awsome with the wood body, plus I just love the Corvette. The T-bolt is really cool, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
