64SS350 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 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.

64SS350 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott8950 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 awesome work and probably one of the best gassers I've seen on here. nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Very nice work, these are going to look great. Beautiful looking bodies for a gasser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Finally got some color on the bodies, using base coat/clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
