bluestringer Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Got this one on the bench ready to start. Straight 00B build, nothing special, probably add some plug wires. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Moving along, got the chassis and interior almost ready, need to add the front braces. Paint is flat dark green, no gloss and no chrome trim. Need to get the decals and bumpers, etc. mounted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I finished one a couple of weeks back. Like making lemonade out of lemons 🍋. Yours looks good. I like the engine. Just wait until you install the glass... hint.. don't separate the front and rear unless you really have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a close look at the body photos, glass is in, I did not have to separate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It was a mistake to cut the glass apart, you need those top strips to attach it to the inside of the roof. The windshield seems to have a relief at the bottom for some reason, maybe it is also used on something else? I wound up adding "stops" inside the roof for both pieces of glass on my build.

Yea, it fit good without cutting it apart. I only glued it at the bottom edge of the rear window and bottom edge of the windshield. Didn't need any glue on the top strips. I noticed that relief, not sure what it's for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I just used dabs of 5-minute epoxy on mine. I waited for the 4-minute mark so it wasn't runny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
