cobraman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thought about putting this in the truck section but since it is mostly car with just a truck body thought it would be ok here. Wanting to build a model that resembles a pic of something I saw here not long ago. Starting with the 'lil Coffin" for the chassis and drive train. The Hasegawa kit will supply the body and at least some of the interior. The body will need to be shortened and you can see by the blue tape how much will be cut out of it. Won't be an exact copy but this is the look I am going for. Not everybody's cup of tea I know but there is something about it I just think is cool.

cobraman Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Not a bunch of progress but I did manage to get the side walls cut to size. Mine won't be quite as short and the car I am using as a guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Got the body in primer today. Still more to do until paint. I also cut a piece of Bass wood that will be stained and placed in the bed. The fact that the wood will cover up the cut that is in the bed has no bearing on why I am doing the wood. You say you don't believe that ? You got me. That is 100 % why I am doing it. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacoballardtattoo Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't blame you on the wood with the texture of the bed hiding the cut would be pretty difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ray, I love the bizarre and off the wall stuff. This is gonna' rock. I had a visual of you sanding between and over those ribs. You were not smiling. Now you are and so am I. Good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks. No way was I going to try and get that ribbing right. On second thought maybe it would not be that hard as they do provide strips that fit in the channels. I would just need to get the tops smooth. Still, not going to do it.
