Modifying the bumper was a lot easier than I expected ! Here it is .

Check the links , I get error messages on both .

After all of that the paint turned out great ! Lots of BMF on there too , very nice work !

Stef , This is good stuff ! Why don't you just do it alphabetically ?

I've been debating if I should modify the rear bumper , so after I sprayed the taillight panel I stuck the side trim and rear bumper on to see what it looks like . Everything looks good , but the bumper is going to bug me if I don't fix it ! Most people don't realize the difference between the Impala bumper and the El Camino bumper , but once you know it you see it every time you look . Here's a photo showing the difference around the license plate area .

WOW ! ! x 9 One for each photo I look at !

Lookin' good James ! I love the old 409 instead of a standard big block . Nice mods too , especially like how you did the side molding . I missed the article on diamond plate , can you show what you're doing ?

That looks pretty darn good Ron ! I'd be happy to display it on my shelf ! I've used BMF on five builds so far and am finally getting the hang of it ! One thing I tried is polishing the BMF before I cut it off of the sheet , it makes a big difference in how it looks !

Looks great Jim ! Nice engine detailing and I gotta get some of those tires !

That's really great ! ! Don't stop now , this will be a good reference site .

Great looking builds ! Your paint on both of them is beautiful , love the colors . I never saw them before but they sure look good in the sun !

Great looking '68 Caprice ! If you used a '67 kit , where did the rear bumper come from ? I'd like to get one .

Nice looking little car ! Great job detailing the interior , but you won't be legal without a license plate on the rear !

Welcome Lee ! You'll fit right in here , lots of people building police and emergency vehicles !

Welcome to the forum Joe ! We've all been there at one time or another . You learn something with every model and you never stop learning ! This is the best place to do it !

I ordered some from Indigo Instruments . 100 each - size # 000 for $ 5.85 or 10 each - sizes # 000 thru # 7 for $ 6.45 Size # 000 is 0.10 " diameter and is perfect for antennae .

Yes they are very nice . I can send you a scan of them if you'd like .

HEY GUYS ! You need to read all of the posts above . The dpmcc.com site is gone but " All Of The Instructions " are still available at the Fotki site ! They didn't disappear forever , the are still there ! The Instructions Forum is still there ! The Drastic Plastics forum is still there !

Great idea with the paint ! This is a cool looking kit with lots of possibilities .

That's purty ! I love the flush fitting doors and those wheels !

Wow , that is really nice ! It looks good in yellow too ! I vaguely remember seeing these kits years ago , what scale is it ? The details and the wire wheels look amazing .

I agree with James , this is absolutely gorgeous ! I can't wait to see the gold insert and paint . . . in any color !

I've Got this '73 Vega promo that I'm going to build into a Vega GT . And this '55 Nash Metropolitan I built last year .

Great looking build ! The kit itself is pretty impressive even with the few quirks that you've pointed out . I might give it a try !

Has anyone ever noticed these numbers at the bottom of the main page ? It IS a lot of work and they do a GREAT job !
