Great to have you here! Clean builds are always appreciated every time. If you'd be kind enough to share - what rig are you starting with?

Sounds like a great project! If you haven't already, try searching for restoration or teardown photos of the 365GTB/4 engine, those usually show the full engine out of the car. I’ll keep an eye out too ..hopefully someone here has detailed pics to share!

You could try gently heat-forming .010" styrene over a simple buck, maybe even just fingers and a dowel , then reinforce with a second layer. Acetone might distort it too unpredictably. Matte medium and tissue could work in a pinch, but might not hold shape cleanly. Curious to see what you go with!

Welcome back, Mark! Great to have you here , those are some impressive credentials! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome back to the hobby! It’s great to hear you’ve reconnected with model building after so many years. Muscle cars from the ’60s and ’70s are such a rich era, looking forward to seeing your work and sharing the journey with you.

I forgot the password to my account here for over 6 months and couldn't access the email i registered with. Glad it's all sorted now, Lol.. but i get you!
