‘55 El Camino
NOBLNG replied to NOBLNG's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Yeah, the mirrors are two piece units that I stole from the Foose Impala. The mirrors sections are too thin to pin.- 141 replies

Thanks Jim….I learned this method right here on the forum.🙂 I pinned the bases to the body and then added the mirror sections as a last step.- 141 replies

The grill is in, the wood bed is in, the door handles are on and the mirrors are located and just waiting for the glue to dry. Once the license plate is attached it will be done.- 141 replies

Not familiar with this kit, but what type of glue did you use?

Preferences of that kind we can do without.😳

Engine and interior look good Mike.👍 -
I can’t take credit for this idea, as I ran across this post on a thread here. Thanks Eelco! It works good enough for me. These are Marette brand.

how important is the fit?
NOBLNG replied to sidcharles's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That’s what I do. I have made a custom tilt column for a ‘31 Ford. And I trimmed probably a scale foot and a half off the Monogram’64 GTO column. -

The chassis and the body are now permanently mated (I hope😬). After having the radiator in and out about a dozen times I got a couple of rad hoses made to fit and added an antifreeze recovery tank.- 141 replies

Beautiful intricate work you’re doing Andrew!😎 -
Looking good Jim. Dang, your upholstery guy is talented.🙂 If it was mine I would try to lower that grill shell a bit.

Words can be arranged into a proper sentence if one is inclined to make the effort.

I also like to pin tiny parts. Even large parts like bumpers and seats. You can use any relatively rigid wire for pins. I like to use 0.020” brass. It cuts easily with my cheap nippers. For tinier pins I have some 0.010” and 0.015” Phosphor-bronze wire that I got at a model railroad shop.

I use 5 minute epoxy to mount them solid. The rears are parallel and the fronts have a bit of “toe-in”.- 141 replies

Jealous thoughts without any action to improve one’s own situation or sense of satisfaction and self worth is pointless.

That is one gorgeous looking deuce there Russell. Well done!👍😎

Extremely fine job on this iconic hot rod from one of my favourite movies!👍😎 If I get around to building one I will certainly be using your build thread as a guide.🙂
