crowe-t Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Davin, This looks great so far. The suspension and chassis are nice and detailed. Edited September 24, 2011 by crowe-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's looking pretty good! One suggestion... carefully clean up the edges of the foil trim around the windows. Use a brand new blade. Also you might try and burnish out some of the wrinkles in the foil with the side of a toothpick. Other than that it's looking nice (and I'm being picky about the foil trim... but since you're doing such an elaborate build-up, it's worth your time to clean up those edges a bit).

highway Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 It's looking pretty good! One suggestion... carefully clean up the edges of the foil trim around the windows. Use a brand new blade.

Other than that it's looking nice (and I'm being picky about the foil trim... but since you're doing such an elaborate build-up, it's worth your time to clean up those edges a bit). Davin, another little tip to add to what Harry said with the BMF, I use a Q-Tip when I burnish my foil. It helps to push the foil a little deeper into the molded depressions around the window trim and also helps give a cleaner edge when you cut the foil. As an added bonus, it also helps to polish the foil some for a little more shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 What Mr. Brownlee said. A soft pencil eraser will do the same, too, but you can't beat a cotton swab (Q-Tip) for bringing out the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyboyz1011 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I just sent these pics to my mother-in-law. She literally said "Is he selling it? It could go for about 40k." I let her know it wasn't a real car. She doesn't believe me. Keep up the amazing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towguy76 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You may have already gotten past this point in your build, but i thought i would let you know that the seats are different in the 68 than the 69. Plus the side lights are different. The 68 has round ones and the 69 has the rectangle ones. The other difference is in the dash but you cant tell in the kit.

Mr. Moparman Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hmmmm. Really your only option in this case would be to pull the motor.There is no way to do it unless you totally disassemble the car to expose the back side of the chassis.
