Foxer Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Just realized I never commented on this build ... I really like where you're going and it's looking pretty sleek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danish sprue wrangler Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thats looking awsome John. Can't wait to see it in the under glass section. Just a small tip on applying putty. When you get credit card offer's in the mail, save the fake credit card and cut it up to use as a spreader. You can get a smoother application that makes it easier to sand and not use as much putty in the process.thanks jeff . it will show up I a not so distant future and thank you for that card tip very good idea . they dont send out cards like that here . but I have some old ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danish sprue wrangler Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Welcome to the AB world side of model painting, nice looking kit there.The build is looking great, I have alway like the look of a side opening hood, just always think of how you service the master cylinder, change plug, etc on that side. I guess you just climb right in there. thanks yes I guess you just get in there down and dirty . or remove the hood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I suppose the real hinges could be designed so the hood could be removed for servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckyg1 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just stumbled on this. I was never a fan of that hump either. Your modifications are perfect. The new line of the car give it a much cleaner look. Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead23 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) here's my Lincoln, built a few years ago...it has '49 Merc suspension front and rear, frenched headlights, '59 caddy rear lights (From the '49 Merc kit) hubcaps gotten on line, black and white rolls and pleats inside with camaro buckets in front etc etc...BUT YOURS...now that is one heck of a lot of work. I like the smooth trunk area. But I am way too lazy to do THAT much!!! NIce Edited May 6, 2016 by bonehead23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
