  9. im from Lake Michigan M.C.C. we meet up in Bensenville theres builders of all sorts from box stock to wild. if you want to check it out were meeting up the 21st at this location around 7pm 192 South Center Street Bensenville, IL theres also a IMPS GTR chapter that meets up at out location too the same day.
  10. this isnt for working tops so stop crying while youre ahead. youll need this stuff Brass screen 15 bucks and you get a lot tools youll need Sottering iron(optional but stronger than super glue) scissors super glue white glue marker tape ruler cardstock what you wanna do is make a pattern of the up top im starting with this making the 80s ratt vert up top theres 2 ways to make an uptop bucking one from a kit top or scratching one completely. i chose this time to scratch one i made a top from cardstock and cut my patterns from it. leave 2mm all around in case for trimming and 2mm on the sides so that you create the drape on the sides. i drew the folds and bent them around a ruler . then i moved to fitting it once it was all set i soldered the pieces together you can superglue them if you dont have the sottering iron this is where having the overlaps are important. once it was welded i moved to cutting the window out and putting the ribs on the top i did this by setting the top on a set of popsicle sticks with a small gap and used the ruler edge to create the rib. keep in mind the bottom piece on the rear glass on any convertible is below the be pillars. after it was done i coated the top in wet white glue after that its paint then flocking then soaking the flocking with really soggy glue water to matt down the flocking. or you can due the toliet tissue trick

  16. hobby shops and i think you can order it through detail master heres some masking i did with the kitchen foil method
  17. you can its BMF, not just any tin foil if youre trying that method the rule of thumb is the more generic it is the better. the stuff im using is just like bmf when it comes to flexibility and blade wear and tear. not yet dont have the capabilities of doing that.
