brett Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 like I needed another project got this out and was having a look at it and the roof fell off !! :o somehow about 3mm fell off all the pillars so then I had to line em all back up haven't decided much about anything else yet including color though I was thinking flat black with a bright metallic roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Those dang plastic eating termites! They can be such a bother... Then again, they might make something better! I like the look of this! I'll have to watch and see how this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Brett....i am totally digging this build. I am loving the chopped top and that ride height is perfect. That color on the roof looks great!! You going to do the whole car that color??. Keep up the awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 thanks Chris, Got the black on ( a nice satin ), you'll have to imagine the roof as its still taped up at the moment, I think once its been foiled and chrome installed it'll look chithot man I did have a backup colour to go over the black but as it came out just as I envisaged it, it aint gonna happen.

CrazyGirl Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 way cool !! can i ask what kind of glues and fillers you used ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks guys,got it foiled but no pics yet . I do use Tamiya putty as a finishing filler, most of my body work is done with styrene and super glue with baking soda. I dont seem to have a lot of success with the Tamiya cement but it does soften styrene filler pieces pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
