Really sharp. How did you do the window net? Perry

Thanks guys. I've got to get more time on it. Perry

Thanks. I’ve never done anything like this before. Just built out of the box. Lots of fun. Need to scribe new lines now. Perry

Been a while, but a little progress. Put some primer on after putty to see what I have to do yet. Looks ok so far. I have door handles from Fireball and they look great. Need to scribe the new doors and fill the old ones. Perry

Bill, Have you had a chance to use any of the burs you got from me? I'd think they'd do well on the die cast as well as plastic. Interested to hear what you think. Perry

Engine compartment looks real. Very nice. Great paint job too. Perry

Made progress filling in. Almost ready for putty. Need to add rain gutter and clean up a bit. Perry

Good idea, but when I put a strip on the under side, the gap is just right to fill with a strip of Evergreen. Almost done with the filling and then will put some putty on. Perry

Using Testors solvent, I glued the top on. It lines up well in back and the sides, but I’ve come up short mating it to the Corvair roof. I plan on putting a thin strip of Evergreen inside the roof across the top. Then, fill in the gap. Not sure if I can fill it with some strips of Evergreen and use solvent. Any suggestions? Perry

More progress on the Corvair. Now I have to figure out how to glue it together. What do you guys use, and what technique do you use? Perry

Thanks for the tips. I appreciate them. Perry

I'm making a 4 door Corvair from a 2 door, and I need to add door handles, and move the front ones. Is there a source for handles, or is there a way to cast the ones on the car before I sand them off? Perry

I didn't see a sedan, only a convertible. When I looked, it only went to page 12. I'll have to look again. Perry

Thanks Dave. Yes, any reference is good. i think I'll have to make the back window bigger too. Perry

Performed surgery. Patient looks good. The fit should be good, but the Camaro top is just a little wider. May have to cut down the center and narrow it. Need to flatten the back by the hood in back and graft in the louvered panel from the Corvair. Doesn’t fit too bad. Will keep most of the Corvair top and trim the Camaro top just ahead of the C pillars. Perry

No pictures of my car, but I can google some 4 doors online though. Perry

I need door handles. How do you guys do those? Perry

Couple of additional pictures. Seems to line up well. Camaro roof has a slope down on the sides to the rain gutters. The Corvair top is fairly flat to the gutters. I need to save and graft the pane l under the backlight into the Camaro top. Perry

I am starting to try to build my first car, a 1965 Corvair Mona 4 door. I have one of the AMT Corvair kits, and an early Camaro body. The plan is to transplant the Camaro roof on the Corvair. It looks like the roof would fit fine. I plan on cutting the Corvair behind the windshield to use the stock Corvair windshield. At the C pillar it might be harder. I need to keep the lovers on th3 rear body work on the Corvair. Time to do some measuring. Any one that’s done this, please chime in with thoughts. Thanks, Perry

I don't see why not. Here's what one looks like. Lots of dental supplies help in modeling. Perry

Andrew, That angle, and the bur looks familiar. Were/are you a dentist? I sell dental supplies and have those latch angle drives, the burs also. Impression material comes in handy for making molds to cast items. Perry

Daily driver in summer. Top always down. If it’s bad out and for winter, the 328i. Perry

I'm reviving this as I hope to build my first car, a 1965 Corvair Monza. It was a four door, got it in 74 for $75 and it was rust free, only needed a battery. Had a three speed on the floor. I enjoyed it very much, but sold it to get a 1965 Triumph TR4. What are the external differences? Anyone convert a 2 door to four? Or is there a resin body for it. Perry

Blue Scuro is a very nice color on these. Nice dark blue. Perry

Nice dragster Scott. Well done. Perry
