Body work is my least favorite part (which, ironically counter-points you, Jason) and is why I have so many unfinished projects. I am an engine guy, always have been and always will be. I have some sweet engines together with half-finished bodies wrapped around them!

I am with you. a whole build usually revolves around what mill I have been thinking about lately

I just like engines.....the build is completely separate from the powertrain thought. I usually determine the overall vibe/look of what I want to build, get wheels/stance/basic body taken care of, then build up a sweet powertrain. Then it all dies when it gets to finish/final bodywork.

Took the time to take pics of the four hoods....

 

Hood #1

 

Hood #2

 

Hood #3

 

Hood #4

 

Hood 4 has four LARGE air holes that had to be repaired. Just to see if the could be  ...

Let's take a look with primer on them...

 

Again ...

Hood #1

 

Hood #2

 

Hood #3

 

Hood #4

 

The four together...

 

 

Kind of hard to tell them apart now, ...isn't it?  

(picture = left : 1 on bottom 2 on top,right side 3 on bottom 4 on top.)

 Yet if you'd seen them before you'd have thrown all of them away ...possibly.

I guess anything can be  saved if someone is so determined.

 

 

On the car which hood is this?

They look good, Jason, and I agree with your primer comparison. I am doing similar things with 'my' hoods.

[Abell82]

the one you added filler extention over the headlight area does not look right to me looks like you added too much... it looks like when you put it one the car it will look like would have a lazy eye..

 

the hood I talking about is in the 2nd to the last picture on the bottom right side. ( hood #3)

 

Possibly..

 

You mean this one?

 

 

 

 

Does the right side have too much, or does the left side have too little?

[whale392]

Test-fit a headlight lens and work it from there!

[Abell82]

Does the right side have too much, or does the left side have too little?

 

 

Doesn't matter either way. This is as good as that hood gets...

 

 

 

 

 

...Even added hinges from one of my hoods that was too thin to use, on it's own....

Hi everybody!

Here's a build I started a while back on another forum. it ended with what i think was a lack of interest, so it has sat in the box since. Recently I've been looking to see whats going on here, and I've decided to continue it.

 

 

....and where it's at now.

Heck yeah, finish her up! Love seeing the Foxes built, and the older MPC/AMT kits can look good when done right!
