Hi all,

I'm a new member and I'm here to find tips and tricks for building the 1:12 Foose '69 Camaro. My plan is to open the doors and trunklid, intall a headliner and make it a resto-rod. Does anyone have any helpful links for opening and hinging the doors? Also, has anyone done any custom work on this kit? I'm planning on customizing the console, door panels, seats and possibly the dash.

I'm looking forward to interacting with ya'll!

John

Welcome! I can't remember what post(s) there are showing how to hinge doors. but I,m sure you can find something in the WIP section or tips & techniques. If not just ask for some help. The members here are always glad to to help out.

John,

By golly there is a thread under the "tips, Tricks & Tutorials" forum covering hinges. Should be a big help.

Welcome John.  Fatkidd Hobby Products makes a wonderful hinge bender.  Look him up on Facebook.  Don't overlook using cotton sewing thread to open doors and trunks.
