  3. Thanks Bryan! It's more than I expected...
  4. NICE WORK!!! Great Engine & Interior Detailing...
  5. THE UNDERSIDE!!!! I traced the shape of the open area and cut out a piece of .080 Sheet Plastic for the Belly Pan... Next I cut a piece of plastic to cover the open area between the Front Fenders. Here are both pieces in place!
  6. INTERIOR PANELS... I extended front of the stock Floorboard by about 3/8" with a strip of plastic. Then I cut a piece of sheet plastic to fit between the Floorboard and the Dashboard Area and glued it in place. I cut a piece of sheet plastic to go between the rear of the Floorboard and the rear edge of the Interior. I cut out 2 areas to clear the Big Slicks, then I glued it in place. Next I cut a piece of sheet plastic to go between the back of the body and the Interior Panel I just put in. Here is the Top View with all of the Panels in Place!
  7. Great Start Dave!!!
  8. Thanks Bryan! Making the Hair was Fun...
  9. FIREWALL!!! I started by drawing the Firewall Mounting Line, then I drew a Rear Window Line above the Firewall. Next I glued in a strip of plastic for the Window Frame and 2 pieces of plastic for Firewall Mounts... I cut out the Firewall from sheet plastic. Here it is in place!

  14. WE'VE GOT LIGHTS!!! The stock headlights are on the left. I found the set on the right in an AMT '57 Chevy kit... I Reamed out a couple of holes for the New Headlights! Here they are in place! When I fit the Front Bumper/Grill in place, I noticed that there was a flat area above the grill...so I ground it off on a 45 degree angle.

  16. Thanks Skip! This kit is great, very little flashing & all the parts fit very well together... I am using the Bottom End on another model...
  17. It's a little more involved, because of the body mods, everything else has to be modified...
  18. Thanks!
  19. HAIR!!! I am using Squadron Putty to make some Hair. I just sqeeze it from the tube and shape it with a #11 X-acto Blade. Don't use too much, it will melt plastic! Looks a liitle too Clean-Cut for Gasser, so I made "Spikes", by squeezing putty right on his head and then pulling the tube back. I started at the back and worked my way forward. Rear View... That's a Good Start...
  20. Not For Long...
