Nice looking custom version of my favourite generation of ‘Vettes! -
Great colour and nice wheels! Cool looking Merc!
-
Once again my saw teared the Stude apart: After glueing it back together again... ...I made some rough putty work to see if the plan is still working: Lowering the roof line will be up next...
-
Looks great so far! I‘ll keep watching!
-
Very nice and clean work,John

Now that‘s a mean looking Nova! Great work!

Very nice looking builds, Joe! I really like the ‘46 Ford!

Interesting! I will keep an eye on that!

Now that I took off some material from behind the rear pillar... ...I still think it is not short enough, yet. I engraved new, curved door lines and again I marked the area where I want remove material from between the doors and the rear wheel wells and to shorten the trunk a little bit:

I decided to stick to my original plan and to shorten the body first before I chop the top. I cut the body in half and removed the section between the rear door lines and the rear roof pillar... ...and glued it together again: Next step will be to shorten the rear window and to move the rear wheel wells forward, so more cuts will happen here:

Excellent! Love that blue! -
That‘s just beautiful! ?

Great build! A jewel in every movie car gallery!

Actually, it‘s a Proxxon motor tool but it‘ basically the same as a Dremel. When cutting, I use this little circular saw at speed stage 2 or 3. Sorry, I don‘t have clue what rpm that is but it cuts through styrene like a hot knife through butter...
-
And I thought I had a plan... ? I will have to think it over this night... Either way, the roof will have to be cut in half. Aaaah, decisions, decisions...

Built examples of these kits are a rare sight, especially when done that nice! Love the paint scheme!

Welcome back, Paul! Nice rod!

Thanks for all that premature praise, I hope I can do it justice! No optional chopped top in this version of this kit but that‘s OK for me. I always like the fun of performing a chop myself... Not much happened so far but the first thing I realised was that I have to modify the inner front fenders to get the body low enough. So I cut them away to make room for the Pegasus wheels: I may want to scratch build some custom wheel arcs but for now it works to get a feel for the estimated stance: Looks cool already but of course it is still waaaay too long so I marked the area where I want to make the first cuts: Let‘s get out the Dremel. Thanks for watching!
