vizio93 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks Billy... But why would I mock it up? It's installed... So that I can see how she's gonna ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 So that I can see how she's gonna ride Rides real good! Although the back is sticking up a tad. When I glue it together, it'll sit correctly. The frames on the kits were warped a little. When I hold it together it sits perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I got the hood to sit on the body. I thinned it down on the inside, and the front edge, and then tweaked it (both hoods, like the frames are warped also) a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Picked up 2 cans of Testors Candy Apple Red today, but since there is a winter storm coming through this week, I won't be able to paint it up yet... Hopefully I'll get it done next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well folks... After 3 long years, I'm gonna finally bring this one back to the bench and finish it. I want to thank Dan Popeko (59 impala) for giving me the inspiration to bring it back. Last time I worked on it I got frustrated when the bodywork came apart on the drivers side, so I glued it back together and then put it away. I brought it back out today and have redone the base coat paint and added filler to the body. I'll add pictures later tonight, and then I'll work on it again and try to get it finished. Wish me luck! Until later, keep watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
