I'm going to have to lengthen the top. Even though I'm happy with the shape, it doesn't match the real car. I still have the parts i removed so it should be a simple job.

dont twist the body, the resin could crack as its not strong. instead supposrt the body best you can, then twist the supports

a little hotter than you would use on a warped plastic part, you want to be able to hold your hand under the water. if your faucet is hot enough that would work ubt if not a little boiled water in the sink works too. the supports will still remove without the water but this gives less scarring/pimples

A little more progress. I've cut up the amt 50 ford carson top to fit this better. I also messed up chopping the screen so had to add some back. How i got it 3mm too much is beyond me as i only used 2mm tape to mark it. And the front fenders are getting closer.

dip it in HOT water, then carefully start removing the supports. if you keep dipping in the hot water they remove with less scarring.

kit form services have few sizes of chain

some do, some dont. if it says its a 2 or 3 stage or basecoat paint system then it needs clear, though i just used metallic blue without clear on a gto interior because i didn't want a shine.

can i just remind everyone that its not that long since a lot of people were hunting pokemon

You could try the facebook page,

if it doesn't break down every 5 miles its too good

I recently got a parts lot of 37 ford parts which has allowed me to start on this. I made friends with a guy probably ten years or more back on the british hotrod forum (its real name wont pass the censor) after he said he was thinking to move to orkney. I figured it had fallen through as i never saw his car about, but at this years vintage show, on the second day, there it was in all its carson topped glory. My favourite early ford in my favourite style, and i was doubly shocked as i thought he had a sedan, but i took loads of pics, though none are very good. .So afte not making the finish line for the cannonball, and having numerous started builds in varying states of completion, I started another. I'm using the parts lot as it had a coupe body included along with the carson top from the amt 50 ford. its too long and its way too wide at the front but nothing a couple of slices lengthways wont fix. I started with the front fenders and briefly considered using 40 pick up ones but after studying them it was easier to mod the 37 ones. I used some left over shapes at the rear but i'll be working them to be shorter. At the front i cut the fender centre out, split it and glued it back with a spacer. This got the top shape close but the 37 fenders have a peak the 38 doesn't have, and the 38 is more bulbous. So out came the saw and i sliced along the peak and 4mm towrd the outer edge which i then filled with rod. I then built up scraps i can file back to suit.

i like the 59 edsel lights but maybe swapped from side to side and flipped 180. they would follow the trunk shape better and fill more of the blank area

some people also have these things called jobs that require you to be there during business hours, which conveniently is also when the shipping agents are open.

i would take it as just beetles but then would a renault dauphine on a bug pan or the imc beelte drag version still count? theres some custom bugs that while they are all bug are a bit.....

there was a guy posting these a few months back. not my type of thing but they looked pretty good to me

put some sort of mold release on a large metal working file, then a few drops of the clear uv glue. cure it, peel it off and te jobs done. you can also put the file in a vice and tighten it onto clear sheet. it should leave reasonably convincing lense texture. then its cut to size for which i'd use a leather punch

a 2012 sellotape dispenser chopper?

kingkit have a second hand section and a salvage yard for partial kits, as well as new kits, or dave coley's emporium has good prices
