James2 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Very nice, what type of glue do you use to put the body back together? Plast-I-Weld- from FLEX-I-FILE on both out and inside. Then Micro screen and C/A on the inside for strength. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albie D Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Love the flow this sled has! Those extended quarters finish it off very nicely. Quick work too, I'm almost two months into my current project and not even near the primer stage. Great kick in the pants for all us lazy model builders James!

James2 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Not to sure about the the lazy guys, but I have a lot of filling and smoothing to do still. I have found that getting the surface close and than priming, really helps these tired eyes see better. Thanks for the interest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHRA715 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 LOOKs great James, what is that green mat you are working on ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 LOOKs great James, what is that green mat you are working on ?? That's a self-healing cutting mat, available at most craft and hobby stores. Not cheap, but worth the investment as it protects your work surface, cleans up easily and provides a slightly cushioned surface to work on. Hope you don't mind me answering this question, James.

James2 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks Ira. Here is a bit of an update.... ​After cutting in the license plate mount, I realized the bumperettes had to go. The pencil marks represent where the taillights will be.
