This morning both bodies are officially fitted to their respective chassis. Added detail to firewall areas.

 

[TarheelRick]

Some amazing builds.  Love to watch your work.

[TransAmMike]

Looking great Karl on this unusual car!!?

[64SS350]

 I believe both bodies are ready, some light coats of spot primer, seal primer, a wet sand, then shooting some color on  the insides of the interiors and front clips.

 

[Mattilacken]

Looking realy good! I have been following along al the way but missed some where. was't it 3 you where building from the beginning?

[64SS350]

Thanks to all.

Yes, hence the title....x3. scroll back to see #1 done I believe around may 2019.

Very nice builds! Paint, details, and decals look great!  

[64SS350]

Had/have some back peddling to do, forgot a detail on the firewall, plus tweaking the front clips to fit and tilt.

Here's one...

[Scott8950]

awesome work and probably one of the best gassers I've seen on here. nice job

[64SS350]

Ok, more backpedaling. While fitting the second front clip, realized some how the axel was too far forward. Refitted the whole front axel and repainted the entire chassis to look uniform.

Finished one intake so far.

Very nice work, these are going to look great. Beautiful looking bodies for a gasser.

Engines are 99% , I found my source of decals for the overflow oil cans, so now I can finish those.

I used the same line for gas as before, if I find more, I will stock up! This is an old phone line from my house, it has a solid core wire. Simply pull the wire, and it slips beautifully over a .021 straight pin with no glue!

[64SS350]

Overflow oil cans done! 

Need to locate and fit 2nd front clip, and I will finish priming. Finally, not quite, but almost ready for some paint!

 

[Dann Tier]

Glad you are back to these!....they are looking FANTASTIC!!!!!

[64SS350]

Shot some color on the underside of the bodies and front clips last week. Finished the headlight bezels. Ugly resin ones compared to more realistic and proportionate aluminum.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Karl

Finally got some color on the bodies, using base coat/clear coat.

 

[64SS350]

Not a lot to show right now, I cleared the front clip  underside, let it sit for a few weeks (while finishing details of our wedding...), and am now wet sanding both bodies.

Thanks for watching!

[Mattilacken]

 Good work m8! Keep it going!

[64SS350]

Some pics of one cleared and polished body. I still see some polishing marks, will have to go over it a bit more.

 

[FLHCAHZ]

Paint work looks great!

Love these old compact gassers! Karl, you're probably going to hate me for pointing it out so late, but if I ever tackle one of these bodies, here's my Job 1: Fix Jo-Han's error and relocate the B-pillars and door jamb back at least 1/8". Quickie 'shop:

That's just the OCD in me, though. You've done a terrific job x3!

As I do a side by side comparison of the 1:1 and the resin, moving the B pillar an 1/8, or at all is not the issue.

Actually the whole section between the B and C pillars is a bit too long. So a body sectioning would be in order to make it correct, but I would have to take measurements from the 1:1 to verify.

Fabulous work on these!
