Thor Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi i had to do some major surgery to this, the chassis and tub didn`t fit very good. And it was a little short,narrow and crooked. So i swapped the roof over to plastic body instead, now everything fits nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymcminn Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I actually liked it without the "B" pillar and as a 2-door- kind of a phantom Nomad hardtop wagon. Seriously- that's really nice-looking. Edited December 17, 2011 by jaymcminn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I`m getting close to getting paint on this car, just some small scratches from scribing the doorlines to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi I`ve just painted this wagon cruiser, the color is an Alfa Romeo color (code 117) Brunello Red. First time i feel getting a decent result with a waterborne auto color (ppg) Very difficult color to capture in picture, it seems to be brown i shot a little movie also a couple of photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 ps. forgot to answer about the tool to scribe. i used just a regular no 11 blade starting very light and more heavy once i got a line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
