Thank you Chaz.
Thank you Dave but I owe the inspiration for the grille adjustments to Rusty @bisc63, it's his advise that pointed me in the right direction. I had made some of my own adjustments that brought the gap a little closer but without his input, I most likely would have left the gap as it was then.
I never saw that movie but I did think that this body would make a great basis for an airport limo conversion. A courtesy car for the Las Vegas Hilton, circa 1961.
Thank you David. Rather like sifting the ground cover as it's applied to a model railroad. I'll have to keep that in mind, thanks for the tip.
Thanks Mike. It kind of reminds me of the shag carpet that the custom van builders used to use back in the Seventies.
Thanks to all,
David G.
