FLHCAHZ Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hello All, it’s been over a year since I have had a chance to get too the bench. I wanted to just build something without driving myself crazy over the details. I picked this kit up at the LHS and started building. My skills are rusty! This will be out of the box, although I may try to flock the floor. I’ve never tried it. Why not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 The pearl white was painted on the top and the clear was applied. Just a quick mock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 My first attempt at flocking, didn’t come out great. I’ll keep going. You really won’t be able to see it when the body is on anyway Also detailed the grill a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Update time: try as I might, I could not get the back door hinges to work, so I glued it is place. I also didn’t like the look of the hood with the sides, covering the engine. I took a deep breath and scribed along the body line and cut the sides off, so you can see the engine wither the hood on. I’ve always liked this look on a street rod Edited November 8, 2023 by FLHCAHZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 That color combination is gorgeous! I picked up one of the older issues of this kit, at a recent show. You have definitely inspired me to get to work on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 It looks nice with the hood modification. Lets that engine breathe a little better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Looking good Chaz. Great color combo. I like the hood top on with the sides off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHCAHZ Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks everyone! I’m down to the little fiddle bits, which test my patience and my eyesight! I mounted the bumpers, headlights and gas cap (I should have pinned the gas cap). This is first non 60’s musclecar I’ve built in a long time. It has been a challenge, especially because I have been away from building so far. I think all I have to do is finish the license plate \ tail light assembly and mount it. thanks again for the kind words and inspiration! More pics tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLHCAHZ Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 I’ve moved this on to “Under Glass” thanks for following along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
