slant6 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 As some of you may have seen, Ill be restoring 2 models that I built for my Dad over 10 years ago. Over the years some parts have been knocked off, and he wanted them fixed. I decided to some restoration instead. I havent told him yet, and am hoping to get this one done for Fathers day. First Thanks to Modlbldr for sending me replacement decals, this surely would have stalled at the end without him, and for requesting that I post some pictures. Ok ,onto the pics. I've only got a couple so far, I forget to stop and take pictures very often. This is how I got it. I had originally glued the hood and trunk?....that doesnt sound right.....whatever, in the open position. I didnt even know about aftermarket model parts that long ago, so this was just built out of the box. After disassembly and some prep work, the piece of tape on the back is so that I can salvage the decals back there. Thats most of the pictures Ive taken so far. Ill try to remeber to take them more often. I hadn't originally planned on posting this here. Thanks for lookin'
zak78 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 You are a brave man! I noticed how the door pulls are missing, and thought...If I were you, I'd deal with that by fillng them and smoothing them, then giving the car a more customized look. I'll be following to watch your progress
Modlbldr Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Slant6- The disassembling looks to be coming along nicely. Don't fret those little yellow decals in the trunk. You have replacements on the way. Keep the pictures coming and I'll check back with you when I get home later this week. Glad I could help. Later-
Deckerz Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 The old 911s like this one in my opinion are the best, they look much nicer then newer ones. Il definetly be watching this.

I'll be following to watch your progress I was able to pop those off without a problem, they are in a box with a the little parts. I thought of filling them in to, but my dad's a little of a purist when it comes to his favorite cars. Ill be adding some new pictures tonight, gotta go to work now though. Thanks for lookin!

slant6 Posted June 13, 2010 Author Posted June 13, 2010 I always forget to take before pictures, but here are a couple of after shots. I really just added the spark plug wires here. When I pulled out the engine most of the hoses and what not fell off, and I'm having trouble remembering where they go. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I think it a Revell model, but I'm not sure. I cluttered up the car a little bit, magazines, a couple cassette's, and a bag of dorritos. This is clean compared to my dads real cars. Im hoping to finish up the paint on the body tonight. Black is a tough color, that's why I really haven't tried it in so long. It's looking better than the original paint job, but not as good as I'd like it.
