After looking at it last night, I believe I have an idea to not use the bumper at all. A great Fabricator by the name of Jesse James said "No matter the time spent making a part if it doesn't look good, don't use it" I really don't mind doing just that... Quick Mock up... Head Lights and Grill Reshaped rear with no bumper.

I see exactly what your saying...

Sectioned up this bumper this afternoon. I cut the ends at the factory seam and then spliced in the center for a license plate holder...

Like it just fine

Looking good as always, Clay.

Coming along nicely...

The chrome looks great Chris, thx for the tip!

I want!

Do you use any compound when buffing Alclad?

This is like going to one of those weekend workshops where they teach how to be a better, (fill in the blank) Great idea guys, great to see you in action...

Gorgeous model, very nicely done...

I just tried to Bump it to the top and it is still on pg 4

Bump For JT...

Mock up with a light sanding primer coat...

I may have come up with a suitable solution...

That’s kinda what I thought.

Web search had me wondering about the trim? Were there options or is this one incorrect?

After picking this one up last week, I disassembled and gave it a good soaking in Super Clean. The chassis and interior were coated with the customary model paint smothering. But the body and glass are in great shape! The only thing ever applied to the shell were decals, same for the glass. Lots of ample glue piles under the hood and in a few other spots. I think another soak and some careful cleaning this resto will be under way. I'd like to use these wheels and tires, the extra bumpers, scoop and decals are bonuses.

I love it...

Absolutely, very nice model and one of my fav year...

Thank you for all the kind comments, this was a great model to build and I enjoyed the time spent on it.

Outstanding model....

Looking really good.

Still a few small things I'd like to do, but it is finished. Mostly! Tamiya Gloss Black, Matt Black, Hand painted wood access interior, Scratch made Cherry Bombs. Parts Box extra's and BMF...
