DrKerry Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I told him no, because if they got in the magazine, we'd have dozens of models left behind the next year! Now that's funny. I'd leave mine behind for sure!!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW Dave Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I also hope it gets back to you shortly, and we see more updates.....I'm loving this build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ningoth4 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Glad you found it and it will be back in your building hands soon! I am loving this build! Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the support and wishing me well on getting my Ghia project back. Although I don't have any WIP updates, I thought I would let everyone know that I got the Ghia back yesterday. I went to the FAST show in Ocala, FL yesterday and Stan Ligon brought it up from Tampa for me. So far, all seems to be well. Now to get refocused and motivated. After going to the World Import Challenge in Orlando, I have a hankering to build an import drag car.

ScrappyJ Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I know it has been a while, but I've been working on a couple of Pro Mod builds I started almost 9 years Argo, in order to change things up a little. As part of having to re work the rear wheel wells of the PM '53 Vette, I had to whip out the 'ole mud and therefore decided to slap some mud and the first coat of primer onto the Ghia: I know it may not look like much and it's still a little rough, but with all the body mods and all, I don't think I it is all too bad off. To be honest, I was a little worried about being able to pull of decent looking lines once the mud was slung on there. A little more careful mud sessions and a few more build coats of primer and we should be in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrappyJ Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks gents! I'll try taking some pics with the body as it is in primer, with it also sitting in the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer50707 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just found this thread today and finally got through all the posts. Dirk, that is some awesome talent that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Lee! A pic with the wheels on. I think I need to re-work the rear wheel openings because they don't look centered to me: It's amazing how much junk you start noticing once you start putting primer in there. Not to mention the primer gassed-out and I have a ton-load of finessing to do on smoothing it out.

crazyrichard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 hmmm i think the back looks fine , you got to remember in real life when you really slam a car like that the wheels are actually more off centre then yours , everything moves up when the body gos down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
