Yeah, I score the line with the back side of a new #11 blade. You have more control that way. Once you cut it off, clean up the edges of the door/trunk as well as the body then tape it back in place. Then bend yourself up some paperclips and use some small tubing to mount them. Some dudes use brass, I use plastic. Make sure to mount the hoop at the centerline of the new crack you created. Don't mount the hindges backwards or you will do what I did on the '56 Bel Air above. This may not be the correct way to do things but it worked for me. I guess since its not a scrap body anymore I guess I should clean up the right front quarter...

Nice color and great finish Lizz!

Sharp looking ride Wayne. Love the decals! Looked really nice back in the day too. Nice wheel choice too.

Thanks Dave! This is great news.

PB took a dump on me. I'll have to find another photo host and fix the mess left in their wake. I got a lot done on the Impala today. Let's have a look... Loving the chrome pen. Shined up all the dash below the gauges, the bits on the console, rear speaker, the steering wheel and the door cards. Also went at the firewall and hit the wiper motor and cover plate. This pen is amazing! Everything is so shiny! Only got to one side of the exhaust -this was done with silver testors and a brush. Also gave the body a once over with Future over the bright work and they still maintained their shine. Stay Tuned...

Someone brought in chocolate chip cookies today!

This irked me too this morning. This is not how I planned to spend my weekend!

Thanks guys! I picked up one of these molotow 1mm pens. I gave the body a going over. This is the first time using this pen. It's a little tricky. The flow isn't very consistent. It will blob up at times. Stay Tuned...

Looking good Lizz

Got the other side done. I picked up one of those 1mm molotow chrome pens from Amazon and it showed up today. I must say, this is a great little invention. The paint comes out a little fast at times and not at all others. It's a little unpredictable but the finish is great. As you can see it will puddle... Not that big of a deal, just wish that the flow was a little easier to control. Here's a few instances on the Dodge 330... Front left fender above the trim. On the A pillar by the vent window. Above and below the rain gutter. Stay tuned...

Nice color, looks great. Where are the wheels from?

Super clean. Nicely built with plenty of detail.

Really nice build. How did you get the discoloring on the headers? Very authentic.

Thanks guys! The 1st time I opened a set of doors it looked like this... I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

Looking good! Nice color choice

Very sharp! I like it a lot

Nice clean build

Just for kicks, last night I was looking for something to do while the paint dried so I pulled out an old body I haven't messed with in like 20 years. I wanted to hone my door opening skills. My first door turned out ok, but I know I can do better. So I did my research and went at it. Whatcha think?

1 step forward, 2 steps backwards... I decided the interior needed more attention. So I added the silver stripe and the darker red trim on the door panels. Seats too. Also added the shifter. I think it was a extra from the 68 Charger kit. Added the amber turn signals And pulled a battery from the parts bin. This is one of like 12 that were included in the 60 Impala Lowrider kit. I also bent up some tube stock as an exhaust. Added 2 mufflers but I wasn't happy with how it turned out. I may try aluminum. Stay Tuned...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I hate it! ...but I love it too

Both worthy of an award! Congrats!

Nice job. That looks like it was a blast to build

Beautiful car Jeremy.

Amazing detail! Love it

Ok, I'm back to my original pick. This is the final choice. I was able to makethe front wheels poseable. Here's the rear after the axle tube replacement. I had to bring in the leaf springs. I'm on the final stretch. The car didn't come with a battery or wipers or stick shift for that matter. I'll need to add those. Also I will do something for an exhaust. I want to do up the bright work on the body too. And the windows and radiator hose. Lots of little things left to do. So far this has been one of the easiest kits I have ever built. The only problem I had so far was the dashboard decals ripped. Other than that, no real complaints. Stay Tuned...
