Use same material . Cut up small pieces and drop them in a jar of acetone to make a glue like consistency mixture. Cut some pieces to fill the bulk of the hole and glue in from front and backside. Once dry....sand and paint. I've used this method to fix multiple plastic grills in old cars

I've heard back. Game him all kinds of pictures and measurements. Waiting on a quote right now. Fingers crossed he can help me

I got some Tamiya clear on this end of last week. And was quite displeased in the gloss it gave...or lack of to be more accurate. I spent almost all day polishing it by hand . It's OK. But far from perfect. I'll go back to duplicolor or maybe Upohl urethane clear from here on. I'm in southern AZ. So can't blame it on humidity....we ain't got none

I picked up some more strips yesterday Will try a few ideas next week

OK. I've been told the body is super accurate. But would only want it to build a oe stock Mach 1 Guessing revell for the rest of it

Can this kit be built replica stock

Looks amazing. But am curious, Why not just use the Johan Body with Moebius for everything else

Thanks, Just sent them an email with pictures

I have to make the entire rear section of the decklid as the Revell GTX has a seperate rear finish panel that fills the void

Im going to stop in my local shop for more sizes of styrene strips My fear in trying to get much smaller strips is getting all 7 aligned straight across

This went much better than I expected for the upper body line trim. It's a .020 x .040 styrene strip glued along the very top edge of the body line. And a test on how to make the grill My tubing is 3/64" rod glued to a flat faced piece of styrene strip. Anyone know if they make a smaller diam rod ? I need to get 7 strip where I now have 5 A 1967 GTX has 4 head lights. A 1966 satellite has 2 with the smaller diam inner circle is the park lamp turn signal . Thus the need to remake the grill

I could probably use part of something like that. But the grille is going to be too narrow. I will have to see if I have one of these photo Etch kits. Of not...order one. At a minimum I can use it for emblems

Anyone whom does 3D print work. Interested in a project for me ? if so pm me

closeup of the panel

In theory, that sure sounds good. Issue is the depth differences between the levels is only MAYBE 1/8inch on the 1/1 My thoughts were a very thin - flat piece of styrene with a decal overlay to achieve the best effect. I cant imagine trying to get multiple pieces of styrene that small in perfect alignment to make it look right. Possibily taking some small styrene and make a edge perimeter with a decal insert. Looking at the kit this morning. I think I can pull the tail lights off reasonably easy. ....Of course I say that now. I haven't actually delved into it yet. Just looking at possibilities . Unless there is someone who can 3d print the pieces. Again, I can provide any picture / measurement needed.

Im going to try my hand and converting a Revell 67 GTX to a 66 Satellite. The easiest way I can think to do the rear is with a decal. Anyone here capable of such a task, I can get any picture , angle or dimensions needed pic just for some kind of reference

Whats the rear axle assy from ?

Promo, I used to have one of them that came from a guy whom used to work at the dealership he got it from many many years ago

For me personally. None of the above do anything for me. Saying that I have a pile in the garage odds are i will never complete in my lifetime. So its REALLY gonna have to be something special to make me open my wallet. Now, A 1968 Olds 442 would catch my interest.,,,,Just sayin

The one thing I will say. IMO the body line down the center of the car isnt as sharp as I feel it should be. So maybe you all in detail builders might look into some fine masking . sanding body line work to sharpen it

My hood was tweaked . Much worst than it is now. It spent some time in hot water to get it better But still not perfect. To avoid breaking it or making it worst I'll live with it as it is today

Thanks I found an article online where its all explained.

A quick assessment to ck stance and make all wheels touch the surface. I tried the amt Goodyear polyglas tires. But they are much to tall for this one It's done for the weekend for me. I'll get back to it one-day next week.

WOW, Impressive. What scale is that

Afraid I cant. I have 3 or 4 of the duster kits. All earmarked for old prostock builds. The 340s on the other hand are a different story. I did get the body in its first coat of color today. But am out of clear. So its done for the day. Chassis I carefully taped up and rattle can sprayed the fenderwells in a Fo paw undercoating kinda sorta look. ( I dont have an airbrush so I have to do it the old fashion way ,,,,Tape) I have house projects tomorrow,,,and next day . So this will most likely be it for this model bench for a few days.
