Dr. Trevorkian Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's nice to finally be building again after a move. I picked this older kit up from Wheels & Wings in Toronto. The actual car was a factory prototype that was sold off in 1956. It was dismantled and stored for 30+ years and has since undergone a total restoration. Multiple methods failed to replicate an acceptable aero tonneau cover. I used the Juanjo Mas technique of multiple strips to create the correct shape. The short door lines are filled with stretched sprue. A heavy primer coat and a wet sand should yield a nice smooth panel. I will massage the tonneau a bit prior to cutting the cockpit opening. The belly pan and fender skirts are in process too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
