Joker Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Picked this puppy up at Ollies for 8 bucks last month. Chopped the top and made some skirts . Made the bumpers closer to the body and added bumper pans/splash shields. Side trim removed from hood (didn't line up) and added new trim to mid point and extended the reveal while I was at it.Clear styrene for the windows after making masking tape templates. To get the tail dragging , the chassis was stepped and a new drive shaft tunnel made.Chassis is weathered up a bit. Jump seat area is covered with a tuck and roll insert. blah blah blah Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Looks good. From what people say about this kit, you have made a silk purse out of a sows ear. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Killer chop Joker. Nicely balanced look and stance. Beautiful paint . Another outstanding model ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Eggscellent James, I dig your chop and those skirts are great. Nice job on the splash pans and the paint too! It might be because I've not seen the Lindberg kit built up well before, but I had not noticed until now how much they messed up the grille... or did you add the extra divider in the "gills"?

Joker Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks y'all ! Good eye Glen,I had to add slivers of styrene to fill in the gap. Used masking tape to protect the grill side "gills" and then added a filler piece on top of the grill area with bits of half round to match the grill shape.The hood itself needed work on the sides just to sit right. After the chop , new gutters were made with stretched sprue.Front fenders had a horrible mold line on the sides.Naturally ,I went overboard and rounded the wheel well too. p.s.

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Just beautiful, man (especially considering all the moaning about what a bad kit this is...I have a couple and it does have issues). Fine, fine looking model, perfect chop, stance and profile. Edited November 11, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
