  1. youre gonna need a few things tape(low tack) liquid glue(tamiya,ambroid,ipc etc) knife styrene(up to you wether you want you want round or square, 0.5 size) i forgot where i learned this from but havent seen anyone practice it. so i decided to bring it up again. im using my 66 nova as reference im not installing the grill but you obviously have to measure the old grill before you cut it out to have a exact flush fit i did that by taping the grill and tracing the size. usually ill lay the pre-cut design on the table on top of the blue tape for better accuracy but too lazy for that. you start out by laying bars back to back then you start by taking every other bar ouy and move them up or down your choice. the last bar is your support bar. this is what it should look like when its all said and done i soak the grill in warm water after a hour unless you used a fast a glue. this is what you should have, measure up, trim the edges and you should be good im not mounting mine which is why you dont see the grill cut out heres how it looked on my GTO lowrider
  2. wow, thanks, the car is actually a diecast and the ink was actually writers ink. i have a real sharpie drawn one and has proven problematic when it comes to sealing it so started over. i did it all free hand its more fun that way.
  3. nice work
  4. well the car is sold these will be the last pictures
  5. thats real cool i dig the c5 window job. makes the car look futuristic
  6. this could make for a fun build off
  7. i was upset about it but i doubt this is gonna bleed through my friend primered his 70 camaro and nothing happened . all the recent amt issues are molded in color for some stupid reason
  8. a lot of clean up i didnt like it with trim then didnt like it now, exept it didnt take days to shave it. i also chucked the old wheels all the old amt pro street kits had crappy wheels or was it just me. im undecided on color still but nail polish is the option.

  15. only the adhesive everything else is michaels, i havent had time to test the fuzzy fur but it looks good, the suede is in tan shades only
  16. so i decided to hit up Hobby Lobby and Michaels and this is what i found. Kyrlon easy tack about 8$ after seeing truscales post about using fabric glue to lay down lace i searched around the net and hit up some craft forums and this is what i was recommended it shouldnt leave any residue and you dont have to worry about it ripping paint should it decided to really stick. Martha Stewart Flocking 3.99 a bottle and lots of colors i got the basics since its easier to dye the white with my AB to get what i want but they got a good selection of colors for the lowrider crowds and you get a lot for 4 bucks Valspar Suede around 7 bucks this ###### is pretty good the texture is alright not a great replacement for anything really but if you need it go ahead and get it
