Cien1986 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 I spray the body with primer then put it on drying oven... Then scribe again the panel line Those are accidental scribe.... but no worry I will fill it later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 2 part epoxy filler It adhere quite well, it also fill the roungh sanding mark... surely save alot of time on sanding the plastic.... After it cure... i can easily sand it to make a smooth surface.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cien1986 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I choose yellowish primer since i belive its the most natural base color before we go to whatever the color is... but metalics we always use black as the base... But grey primer is also good for spotting uneven or unperfect surface.... This is just my opinion....

Lowlife ! ! Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Looks great so far, good job ! Can I mention one little thing ? Not to criticize but if you look at the real engine above it has standard headers with heat shields to protect the HT leads. The 302 in the kit has aftermarket headers , it shows in the instructions to run the HT leads down behind the headers then under them . This would stop them melting ! ! Just thought I'd mention it , looking forward to more progress on this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
