Is it just my perception or do those front seats look too narrow? David G. They likely are. However have to use them on account of the upholstery.

landman Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 The car is back from the glaziers. They managed to put a smudge in one of the quarter windows. Good spot for a decal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Picking this one back up Pat. Beautiful color choice man. I've used the Molotow Chrome pens before and have had mixed results with them but it looks like you did a really good job using yours.

landman Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 replaced the smudged kit windows with high falutin' ones cut from a blister pack . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 The chassis would,'t go into the body faor any reason. I had to thin the front panel and cut off about 1/8" off the back so It could sit properly. I managed to put a big smudge in the windshield. One of the guys is trying to wipe it off but I'm sure it will stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had the plans but all I have is the parts book which would go a long ways in replicationg the various components. However, I'd have to get actual dimensions in order to scale everything accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 The decals are here, courtesy of Peteski. He must know what a fumbler I am as he included some practice items.😌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 I had installed tailights from the stash since the kit ones were AWOL. However, now I have to use some closer to stock on account of the decals. So I started with a clear sprue which didn't work. the number tab on a tailight sprur donated something that will be useable.
