Custom Hearse

Bill and Bob, thank you so much for the help! I really, really appreciate it! This will help me out completely!

What is the best way to apply it to a kit body? I'm wanting to use it on my Monza build as a clearcoat.

Yes she is.... But she's my girlfriend!!!! :o

The '57 Nomad is really cool! I love it!

It looks great Raul! You definitely have some serious talent! I wish I could see this in person!

Uhhhmmmmm.... Rick? That's the underlord's car.... :o :blink:

That's O.K. Kevin.... Wait until this guy shows up.... Then you got a problem!!!! :lol:

P.S. It's looking great!

About Time! I was wondering how it was going! I've been waiting patiently to run that over with this.... :lol:

Get lost ya dufus! I see you posted some progress on the rod. about #@%&*% time!!!! I just want to say.... you old geezer....

Gregg's computer....

Neither can I! The work you've done is magnifico!!!!

Looks like it's off to a good start. I like it.

Real....

Man those flames look great! Excellent job on them Ron!

That's looking good Erik! The Impala roof works! Another good roof is the Revell '67 Dodge Charger roof on the AMT Merc. I did an experiment with it and it worked good. It gave it a nice chopped top, fastback look without cutting the roof up. Keep up the great work!

Len, You and Bill are doing an excellent job on this! I'm definitely going to get this kit soon! Looking forward to your next update!

OH MY GOD!!!! YOU TORE IT APART!!!! I'll never be able to.... What? Oh, O.K., you took it apart to paint it.... Whew.... I almost lost my cool there..... Looking forward to seeing it painted up. This should be awesome!!!!

Ummmm.... Uhhhhh,,,, WOW!!!! Really nice work!!!!

Man that is a awesome truck!!!! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! Keep up the great work!

Yes! Definitely let us know! I'm loving this build!

I agree wholeheartedly with Marcus, Dave.... Except when you start talking like Elmer Fudd.... Then I have trouble keeping up with what you say.... It's looking awesome, and I can't wait for the color to go on. You're doing a fine job Doc....

Sorry to hear about your Grandparents passing. Yeah, this town grows and grows.... And grows! If you ever do get back here, there's a great hobby shop in town now: Hobby World of Joplin. You have a great day!

Here's a pic of using brass rod for holding the body together.... I carved a channel out with a Dremel tool.... Then I used epoxy to glue the rod in.... If you use brass strip, you just need to sand a flat spot along the area where you attach it. I owe the credit of this idea to a friend of mine; Ken Hamilton. He's the one who showed me how to keep the body from breaking.

The exact same thing happened with my JoHan 3 way build. Be very careful handling the body, because it will break off at the lower door frame. I used strip brass to stiffen the door frame. What I plan to do is use some more brass pins when I glue the windshield posts back down, but I going to wait until just before I paint the body....
