  6. No quad headlights until 1957???? Faget'a bout it... 1937 Pierce Arrow
  7. Oh wow.!!! Super Cool. Nice work.
  8. They sell hex shaped plastic rod. I think Plastruck or Evergreen has it. You can buy it on the internet. I've got some somebody sent me. Not sure what size would work best. But you can just cut off a very small piece paint it, glue it on and put a black dot in the middle.
  9. Simple way to do body work is to Build the basic shape you want with plastic. If you can't buy any, use junk, spare plastic stollen from other kits. (Hobby Lobby should Have some sheets of plastic.) Use superglue to glue the plastic in place. Go to your local auto parts store. Get some Bondo or other two part car body putty. Mix it up, slap it on, wait till it dries, then sand it. That is what I did on this one:
  10. Thank you. No, both hoods are made using the stairs just the way they come from Plastruct. Here's the 49 Merc hood finished.
  11. Gone B cool.!!!
  12. Here's what I'd do. I'd use Plastruct stairs. They come in several sizes. You would need to recess the vent a little like on the real car. If the vents are too far apart for your taste, then I would cut out some individual steps and glue them in between the other steps. I know that sounds hard, but you only need about five vents. I'd need a really good closeup picture of the Cobra Vent to be sure. But you get the idea......
