Dann Tier Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Since i'm on the verge of starting the body, thought I would share these photos of the kolor it will be. Even the interior is the same kolor....minus the aluminum. The kolor is Duplicolor Pewter Metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 The control arm parts are all finally done, test-fitted, and FINALLY ready for paint!!, I also cut-out the molded air filters, so that I can make my own along with the back side of the air box.

You appear to have more model building talent in your left pinky than I'll ever have in my whole body! I kind of feel like that too. For most of us, that level is only a target. Impressive.

Dann Tier Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Got a bunch of tedious detailing done today, tomorrow I will glue-on all these parts, and all three sub-assemblies to the belly pan, then start the body fitment! I cut the molded-in air filters out of the side air boxes so that I can SB my own, along with the back sides of the boxes. I decided to mask-off the top side of the belly pan to keep paint from filling-in the already dodgy glue points. Lastly, I decided to use Milliput to fill-in the center section of the doors hinge cover, since I didn't like the lack of a good base for glue without flowing into the hinges.

Dann Tier Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Notice the "notches" I carved-out to fit the cowl down flush. I carved them like this to make it clearly obvious, but now I will taper them off to the centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Another update here....i'm almost finished fitting the font cowl, I was even able to use the inner fender wells!, I only had to totally cut-off the "hooks" that connected it to the rest of the car.......don't need'em anyway. The cowl fits great, but now I have to fix the large gap between the cowl, and the doors.....I got a fix for that already!!...stay tuned, its going together fast now!!
