ehheeh . '92 ... don't remember having those plates for quite awhile .. Great job on the glass! .. this body looks good down low.

I really want to see what you did on this as I'm in the process of building a '69 that I owned. Are you posting photos from a free photo site such as photobucket.com ? That is the best and easiest way.

Those are all beautiful builds! .. but only because my second car was a '59 Impala, I like that one best ... wonderful BMF work!

hmmmm ... favorite director/actor and haven't seen all his films ... internet or cable down?

beautiful Porsche!

The dash wood has been chosen .. using the upper one in the Photo. This is a photo of some wood veneer that Hugh Grubb (Kit Basher) sent me and was photographed and a mask of the resin dash with gages and shape applied. I tried a print on photo paper and that will be cut out and glued to the dash. The glove box outline is in Photoshop in black and will be applied before making the final print. The shift receiving piece on top of the tunnel was glued to the console face and now drying and I can finish shaping it tomorrow .. letting styrene glue dry a day and I'll add some surer glue to reinforce to the back. This is a drop in dash/console now!

A small update by most standards, but for all the work that's gone into the interior this is a big one for me! And just a shot on the bench of the pieces still in the works. The dash proper is set but the center console had to be done from scratch and is still being shaped .. at least the fit is correct now. Kit Basher has generously sent me some wood veneer for my dash and this is in the process. It is so thin I was considering using the veneer itself but have photographed it and will use a photographic print. Maybe in next update if that works. The veneer he sent has beautiful grain .. perfect for my dash. In this photo is the rear resin bumper that broke in two places due to my clutzy hands while sanding the flash off. They are pinned and ready for glue, but this joint will be delicate no matter what. The rear bumper has the mounting pins in place and is ready for Alclad. The center console has a piece added because I had to lower the center tunnel to correct the console height .. I hope I can get a radio in it after adding the shifter piece. The shift boot was made from progressively smaller rings and are on the shaft made from a headed pin.

Very cool van ... looks like I missed your WIP .. will be going back to see. Your photos aren't bad either

Seems very much to me! The bed is very cool .. and different. And the welder is amazing! Now go out and use it.. and get it dirty ..

That looks like a proper office for your yard! ))

Welcome to the forum from up north in the mountains, but I spent my youth swimming in the Sound ... from the CT side, though.

That's looking pretty smooth

That certainly pulls your eyeballs! ... very nice job on it!

No way that junk has a V8 in it ... oh wait ... sleeper! Coming along good!

I really do like it ..

This one's not it I see but shows added nuts from rod. simulating lug nuts on wheels .. didn't come up with one that's what you mentioned, but those seem a good start.

I let people know the cost and time it takes to build and I don't give my time away for nothing. That usually cuts it off in the bud.

I've found the same .. strippers ruin body putty. I haven't tested extensively as I don't enjoy redoing bodywork, as much as I like that part of modeling. I always just sand down paint when bodywork/stripping is required.

I may have to build a dune buggy just to use those tires .. beautiful!

Three TR's .. wow! I think it was keeping the SU's in sync that finally did me in ... I was lucky if they went a month before the power dropped. My sports car bug hit me again a few years later and stayed thru five Porsche 924/944's ... galvanized bodies and the sweetest suspensions in the world. In other news, the TR dash pieces are coming together .. I scraped the resin dash clean and started fabricating all the little pieces ... nothing worth a photo yet.

Yeah, the ones that looked right were fairly small. I did see some pretty hi rez ones, but not what I need. I do 3D design (in spare time) making 3D objects and manipulation of textures in Photoshop. I could enlarge but that doesn't usually come out well. Maybe it's worth a chance since it's going to end up so small.

I really appreciate the offer, Hugh! t one point I was thinking of using a piece of veneer, but I think it would be too thick. A sheet of photo paper seems the thinnest I can get and would be great to have a piece of veneer to photograph at high resolution. The 1/24 dash is 1.75 x about .5", so I wouldn't need a large piece. Here's a photo of my TR4A dash so you can see what I'd like to get close to. If you have something that might be close, I'd be happy to just photograph it and get it back to you.

That's definitely sleeping! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ...

Thanks, Skip. I've been there but their photos are a bit low resolution for my needs I want something that is 1500 dpi and 1.75" with the grain ... that's about 2600 pixels ... the nice ones at certainly wood are 400, but some of their teaks are perfect in color and grain ...

Well, my kids experimented with drugs and computer games, so my stash is SAFE!
