NOBLNG Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) On this Revell '39 Chevy Street Rod, the bumper mounts have very pronounced bevel. This would make the outer ends of the bumpers tilt down drastically. The front ones I trimmed with a hobby knife to roughly perpendicular to the ground. For the rear, I came up with this idea. I mounted sandpaper to a piece of angle with double faced tape. I then just sanded the mounts until they were square to the ground by sliding the angle back and forth on the workbench. It worked like a charm Edited January 18, 2019 by NOBLNG
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Excellent. Missing little things like this can spoil an otherwise very nice model. You'd be surprised (maybe) how often real car builders get it wrong too. Next time you're at a car show, look at how many cars have snarling, off-center, or drooping bumpers.

I'm a perfect example of that. Dont use chains and tractors to tow your cars folks
