I have some Meguairs polishing compound but wind up going with toothpaste as of late. I remember learning about toothpaste to polish paint in Car Model way back when. They instructed you to follow with corn starch and that worked pretty well. 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Hey, TJ, are you anywhere near that Statesville show coming up on the 30th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Well, guys, I'm working on assembly! Thought I should show y'all what I'm having to do to get this together...... The way the kit is designed, you're to put the glass into it's locations, then put the top on the body. With the top in place, it was all but impossible to install the rear glass. I ended up having to put two small pieces of tape on the rear glass, then kind of drop it in place. Once where it needed to be, I glued it in with PVA glue...... The pic shows the yellow tape holding in the rear glass. Now I'm installing the interior..... Have to feed it in from the bottom, too...... So, that's it for now....... Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just wanted to show you guys that I've got the major body parts together! It took some coaxing and problem solving, but now it's pretty much ready to join the chassis...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
