f1ford48 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 did you make this body also? nice looking car!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 No This started as a five window Coupe from Mike Gradis. I got an second quality casting and had to replace the hole body so I took a roadster and with some (plastic) surgery It was in place, then the top chop was done and I´ll had to section it to get the right to. So would I do it again? yep I´ll do it again but this time with the 3 window Coupe witch is coming my way any day now. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ford48 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 they all look real....how do you do the windshield frame on the 5 window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi Frank I´ll used 1,5 mm plasticard for the windshield frame. First I did a template in cardboard, used this template on a plasticard and carefully sanded down the outer edges to a nice fit, then I used a drill bit to take out the inner areas and just leaving the frame. Carefully sanded to shape. Had to do a lot's of dry fit to check the frame against the window opening. /Larsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
