Picked this up at Princess Auto for $8. There are two round files and no “warding” file in the package though.

You should be able to sand “just down to” the white paint with a fine enough sandpaper and a very light touch. The trick would be to stop before going through the white which may be very thin. Then the white would need to be polished back to match the surrounding surface.

The only other option would be epoxy, but that would squish out and require some cleanup. Thin CA would be better.

Your bodywork looks very nice!👍

Interesting project. It looks like updating that interior might be the toughest part…they don’t give you much to work with.

Weekends are something that I don’t look forward to anymore now that I’m retired.

Thanks Jim.😎 The inboard pair could be ordered as backup lights as an option and became standard in ‘66 apparently. Then for ‘67 they went to a rectangular one above the plate. The third pair of light are a custom feature.

A few more pics I’ve run across. Still no dual plug heads though.😕

The wife and I watched the Lioness series too and quite enjoyed it.👍 One thing I can’t stand in a lot of action movies is when the bad guys are spraying bullets all over the place and the hero is doing cartwheels across the room and not getting hit by anything.🙄

Nice work!👍

Delay reading that book I did on how to conquer procrastination.

I’m thinking I will paint the mesh flat black and the wraparound trim body color. I did a test with my prototype grill. I tried painting it black then wiping the paint off with a Q-Tip, but it just makes it look dirty.😕 And a bit of contouring on the tail light holes and some preliminary attempts at fabbing some tail light lenses.

I love that yellow, and the stance is killer!😎

It’s gonna be red…unless the squirrels come up with a better idea.🤔

Drilled holes for tail lights and cut a relief for a license plate.

Your detailing skills are awesome!👍😎

I managed to chop up a radiator from an AMT ‘72 Corvette and get it mounted. It is small but it is cross-flow and it is thick so it should be up to the task. I also made some trim that will eventually be wrapped around the grill. Oops…forgot to mount a fan.🥴

You will require at least one of these precision constrictor bands to perform the conversion . I believe they are color coded for different clamping pressures…best to invest in the entire set like I did to cover all possible scenarios. A bit of an investment, but well worth it in my opinion.😜 Edit: If anyone is interested…I can do a tutorial on how one of these can be manipulated to double or even triple the original constriction values.🤓

I never even noticed the different fender shapes when building mine. But now that you mention it…😳. I did glue the front and rear valences to the body which made it impossible to fish the chassis/floorpan in and out, so I disconnected the engine/subframe and installed it separately. It worked very nicely. I did have issues getting the floorpan to meet up with the firewall too, so test fit everything.

Here is a sample of the reds I have. LP-21, LP-42 or X-7 look pretty close.

Here is another picture I found online. Could those be the dual plug heads standing up on the right, or are they for a different engine? Edit: those cannot be the fisher heads….if those are 12 spark plug holes they’d be under the valve covers.🤔

I don’t know how it is supposed to work.🤷‍♂️

Resin casting is a fun hobby but can be stinky.

No worries…I’ve been called worse.😬 (No offense to the real Len😜).

Thanks.🙂 Thanks. I got it on Amazon. This stuff is #80 mesh. Thanks. Cutting stuff up can be addicting.🤪
