RodneyBad Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Is the Doc gonna miss those? Did you need stitches or just Glued back together? Gotta watch those blades when they're new. That caddie backs didn't look that bad.. The pockets would have been a nice up-grade. Do you need to redrill the wheel holes or just glue back on? Master cylinder looks much better..
Spike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 naw, they throw em out after each use, she just told me not to hurt myself with em had to get 5 stichtes caddy backs didnt match mine, so they had to be changed the wheels are just glued on and thank you
RodneyBad Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 had to get 5 stitches WOW! Ouch!! that was a bad Cut.. In a pinch, Super Glue works well Slowed ya down a whole afternoon
Spike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 ya it was bad superglue wouldnt of worked, it was GUSHIN blood ya, it slowed my afternoon WAY down
Spike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 heres what id ultimatly like to do to my 1:1
Spike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 found a wall that didnt get cleaned up
Jordan White Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I'd say keep the blood on the wall. If anyone asks, just say "Let's just say someone didn't agree with my modeling ideas...whoops I've said too much, and now I can't let you leave!"
Spike Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 well im doin what i can with a stitched up hand made the support braces under the hood (still gotta be painted) changin out the diplomat mirrors for caddy mirrors since they are a closer match to mine (caddys left, dips right) got the seats painted and the floor flocked but wait, whats that sitin on the front seat? oh ya, my coffin switch box
RodneyBad Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 interior startin to look like mine excellent pic comparison But I don't see a PS II control on your 1:1 dash Mirrors are a good change out.
RodneyBad Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Looks better now. A white Dash? that throws me off with the black seats. Mmmm I think you need some nice white leather seats. Where is the pic of your Vents in question? Are they indented into the fender or just on top of it?
Casey Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Where is the pic of your Vents in question? For the 5A faux fender vents, you might try using the louvers included with the Revell '54 Chevy Sedan Delivery kit. You'd have to splice two together to get the correct height and shorten the length, but it might work. Are you modifying the grille to a Lebaron style?

Where is the pic of your Vents in question? Are they indented into the fender or just on top of it? id like to get white leather seats, but to hard to keep clean,,,look at the door panel the vents are just on top of the fender For the 5A faux fender vents, you might try using the louvers included with the Revell '54 Chevy Sedan Delivery kit. You'd have to splice two together to get the correct height and shorten the length, but it might work. Are you modifying the grille to a Lebaron style? good thinkin! now i gotta grab my 54 chev kit ya im gonna make grille to match the diplomat SE grill i got on the 1:1 now but later on i plan on makin a 80/81 grille like im gonna eventually put on
Casey Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I can't say if the louvers I mentioned are in all the '54 Chevy kits, as I only had the '54 sedan delivery molded in maroon plastic ('80s issue)
Spike Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 ya i got that same kit. already dug out the vents and they will work when i mod em like you said your a life saver last thing i wanted to do was try and make em
Spike Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 well i had it mocked up and i could see through the engine bay and grille, why? cuz there was no radiator. most probably wouldnt notice, but id know so i added one for the fender vents i did what casey said and am using the 54 chevy hood louvers they were a lil long, and too tall if i put em side by side so a lil choppin and they fit. i know there aint as many "vents" as the 1:1 but close enough for me
RodneyBad Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 they were a lil long, and too tall if i put em side by side so a lil choppin and they fit. i know there aint as many "vents" as the 1:1 but close enough for me 5 12 who's gonna notice? I'd add 1 more louver tho it's alittle closer to the door edge. And I see you got your door trim on too. Excellent Idea Casey
Spike Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 heres the best pic i got of showin the vent. and thanks for pointing out zuk i shoulda had the pic open when i was making em will fix that one tonight
Spike Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 ok call me crazy, but im thinkin bout doin a full detail chassis, only thing that sucks is i wouldnt be able to put it back in the original box like i want
Spike Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 well zuk mentioned it, so i fixed it, added another louver to the fender vent
RodneyBad Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 That looks much better. I just figured you'd notice it Eventually. Dang! did that AMT Chassis just drop in? Looks good enough. Wait, It looks a hair longer up front.
Spike Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 thanks. ya the AMT chassis dropped right in. but i dont think ill use it,,,yet i still wanna make it so i can screw it back into the box so it looks like it came from the factory like that lol
Spike Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 im startin to see the light at the end of the tunnel,,,ya right, i still got a ton of work to do, but you can get an idea on what to see when finished
RodneyBad Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Well, the color looks a wee bit off I think a Display case will be more it's style. If you use the AMT Chassis, a Clear floor display case.
