wheaton79chris Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 One I'm starting in minutes. Gonna involve a lot of bodywork. Going to attempt to fill the seams where the body and bumpers meet. Gonna remove all chrome as not many cars I saw had it anyway. Hey guys we love to see you smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 You are correct, there was zero chrome on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Starting with the body. I filed down the ugly seam and filled it with a styrene superglue mixture. It looks rough now but should sand smooth easily. More to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 A before and after filler Any comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 A little more work. Sanded down the mold separation lines on the c pillars Removed the inner lip from the tires so they will go on in reverse leaving the smooth side for decal lettering Finished the bodywork on the left front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Got primer on and gonna work on a few small spots later Got just one question. Should I fill in those lines on the side? I like a smooth look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Depends on what year you're going to be representing with the decals, by '92 the Ford teams had done away with that reveal, and went to the "slab side" style bodies. So if you are going with the Bill Elliott cars fill it in and take the rolled rockers off and make the only entire body flat sided with skirts along the rockers with cutouts for the jacking points on both sides, and for the exhaust where it exits.
