No idea what type of hammer that is.....been in the tool box for a loooong time.

Love the wheels on the Nova! The truck looks like a nice kit, and the various colors you used to pick out the details really bringsi t to life - nice work! IS there a LHD version of that kit?

Good idea Dag. Can the anealed aluminum be polished as normal?

Great post!! I have wondered about building torsion rods for opening trunks, never thought about using the idea for hoods too.

Fantasic work Izzy! Not a fan of the 612, but your modifications make the car look tough - well done!

Cool builds!

Nice work so far! How did ya do the doors?

Nice work, Lyle!

Nice build!!

I glued the strips to the blade to use as a guide for the slat spacing and the depth of the cuts, hoping to make repeatable cuts. Basically, cut slots for one slat, glue the slat in place, then use the slat as a guide for the next cut. It worked to a point, but because I was basically freehanding the cuts against the slats, I ended up with a good bit of tolerance stack. There is still a good amount of cleanup work to do before primer, but the hard part is done, and I can live with it on the shelf. Here's the modified saw blade:

Latest update, got the slats installed! I used some CA to attach a strip of .020" sheet to each side of an X-Acto saw blade, and cut slots in each side of the openings. .020" sheet was use for the slats, and held in place with CA. There are ten slats per side, but because of tolerance stacking when cutting all the slots, they are not symmetrical side to side. While I would have liked to have it more even, but I think it'll look alright once in primer and paint, and the decals are applied. Brian

Very nice!

Nice build!!
