I will never build anything stock....somebody already did that...why again?

This is my inspiration, but I am not a flat paint kind of guy, so I will listen to this as I cut and it will tell me what color /colors it wants to be covered in.

This one will run steelies and whites as they seem to fit the Ardun flattie the best.

[MikeMc]

Where to start........6mm tape , move it around to figure it out....

looks good , now some black primer......??????

Now...remove the white and put it back together!!

[MikeMc]

Its like a plastic jigsaw puzzle!!...not much filler needed!!

[MikeMc]

You didn't think I was done...did you????

Evergreen and Tenax time........

Now for some Primer, sanding, Mud, and more sanding, and primer..........

[Mike Kucaba]

Very nicely done.This should answer a few questions about chopping and sectioning.I like the use of the tape and the primer.I prefer to use super glue on body modifications though. Good work.

[Foxer]

Those are some excellent cuts! I'm surprised the hood came back together so well.

Thanks Mikes!! The reason I get such good fits is the welding action of tenax.....others just do not weld correctly. I do use CA with accelerator for some repair work,but for chops It dries too hard and britlle unless you pin it....

Makes me want to pull mine out and do something to it, either the scale model or the 1:1 in the backyard.

This is sweet, I'll be watching for sure.

Someone else actually realizes that super glue and accelerator isn't all that great for doing major body mods. Thank You!

Very good job on the mods, I'm waiting anxiously to see where this goes.

What did you use to make the cuts?

"Someone else actually realizes that super glue and accelerator isn't all that great for doing major body mods. Thank You!"

I mentioned super glue only.I don't use the accelerator either.

Got some mud on and things are getting there.....Had to see what the rear looked like......

[Clay]

Mike, that is looking great, but the bed looks a little too big.

[MikeMc]

Needs color.......The orig has a stock bed.....

[Clay]

[MikeMc]

Lookin Good.......

[SuperStockAndy]

That is awesome!

I'm the same way. I never build stock. But if I do, it's going to be an absolute factory stock replica!

[MikeMc]

Just a hint......
