  1. Added seat belts (masking tape slices black sharpied and dullcoated with Liquitex matte medium), 4mm tube distributor, ignition wires (too big,...all I had), fan shroud and intake metal bent up out of some .040 aluinium sheet..added a rad puke tank. ..After Futuring the front 'glass',..I ground off the lower edge of the front windshield, to be flat with bottom of the cowl .. and BMF'd (non sticky variety..yay) the surround after gluing. Black Sharpied the backs of the 2 (should be 3) windshield crash bars The windshield...didn't fit ..even after filing and sanding the lower edge off...Canopy glue and some weight got it in place...and a day later I drenched it in BSI Instaset kicker, and applied a generous amount of BSI gap filling medium C/A glue..yay no fogging. Brush painted the body interior with CraftSmart Acrylic black. Little disappointed in the BMF application,..brand new sheet and only the middle 2" will stick...GRRRrr... Almost there
  2. See..I learn something new every day... Interior is looking great Pierre (2thumsup)
  3. That's about where I'm at...keeps ya coming back tho....lol
  4. Just spitballin' here, but wouldn't the bumpers be the first weight reduction on a land speed car...?...lol Maybe black to break up the rust effect...
  5. Found a set of those in the AMT Trans Am kit and was able to stuff 'em under the Revell '70 Challenger...Love those rims...
  6. Thanks Pierre.. disappointing to say the least ... Thanks Mark..me too So anyway, the idea of getting this into 'Under Glass' in a timely manner has gone by the wayside...still much to do These sink marks were unacceptable So made up some covers and continued it on up the rear sheet Cut down the oversized fire extinguisher and added some detail More to come as it happens...Q.C.+C.s welcome...
  7. Better late than never. It's looking good..always loved the trans am series.
  8. Absolutely Beautiful workmanship Chris. Well done!
  9. If anyone has one of these Aoshima kits, do me a favour and take a couple measurements for me please....? It's a 1:24th kit whereas the Sunbeam is 1:25th, but it would save me ordering one for $100 CDN to find out it's too big...lol Thanks for any help. Cheers
  10. Love the stance you got going Jay...got any ideas on colours.?
  11. Like what your coming up with Pierre....^man, now that is a crowded interior^^^
  12. My little hideout The recycle bin/paint booth has an extraction fan out the window

  14. https://www.mecum.com/lots/503116/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo-nascar/ Found this while looking for info on Donnie Allison's car which I'm working on down in the NASCAR WIP section.
  15. This is the Canuck '73 bumper For the '74 bumper you would need to file/sand out the rub strip in the top protrusion And the lower vent holes would need to be shrunk...but otherwise...sure, give me dozen @$30 bucks each...
  16. Bunch of Beauties Ludwig...love me some Chevies
  17. Very clean, beautiful build Michael ! Decal work and paint look fantastic!! Well done ..Cheers
  18. Yep ! I use contact cement..have a gallon for cabinet work..coat both the stick and the back side of the sandpaper..let it tack up and slam em together..also, all those poop bag roll inners get the same treatment..
