custompainter Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Great looking body. Are you going to sell them, got to have one!!!
cobraman Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 What a great slice and dice. Body looks great !
Mooneyzs Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Jeff nice work Bro! This is sure a great looking body. You sure have talent man. This body looks perfect.
Prostreet Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 You do some killer styrene work Jeff. How many hours do you have in it?
vintagedragfan Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 super work Jeff, that body looks awesome!!
hOLMS Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year all!! Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate the thumbs-up...really helps with my motivation. Don, I'm checking with castors now to see what we can do....would be the first I've had popped, can't wait! Joe, I'm gonna guess I'm around 50 hours of build time on this one so far. I estimate another 20 hours to zip it up, hopefully. Couple updates...front window was reshaped from stock unit and now fits on the body almost perfectly, spent the whole weekend on this. I made a wedge cut down the center of the hood to pull the bulge down. Then, I had to build up the hood surface that meets the bottom of the front window. Currently, she has a fresh coat of primer waiting for some more work. I have really enjoyed the window treatments so far, still have more to go but making good progress. Last picture is a comparison between now and two weeks ago, huge difference! Thanks for looking, till next time!
tyrone Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Looks Awesome Jeff... I love the way the front of the car looks and what you've done to the front wheel wells... what's up with the chassis in the background any pics of it....
W-409 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Looking Good so far Jeff! You are true artist, the body has changed alot from the start and you have done huge modifications to create beautiful ProMod body. I'd like to try too, but maybe it would end up as a pile of junk plastic.
doggie427 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Tremendous work Jeff !! I'm not even a fan of most pro-mods but the bodywork and fitting of windows etc. on this one is OUTSTANDING !
futurattraction Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I don't even know what to say Jeff. Your Challenger is way off the charts! Love it bud!!!
1320wayne Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Superb work Jeff. This one has to be your best by far. Clean lines and everything looks proportional from front to back and side to side.
Mooneyzs Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Jeff... Nice work bud. That glass fits like a glove. Beautiful work. I love your attention to detail. Keep up with this great work and keep the updates coming
hOLMS Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks for looking in guys, means a lot to me. I really love doing this bodywork stuff and glad you like it! Wayne, thanks man, means a lot coming from a master like you! Wish I had some updates to post, will be working on finishing the front and side window treatments this week....hopefully I can finish the flares for bottom of sides that will wrap around the rear wheel opening and the bottom fascia. Tyrone, I started this chassis for another build, all styrene glued with Plastruct Weldene...I think it just might work for this one. I'll keep you posted.
Prostreet Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Nice chassis work Jeff, I will take one challenger body in 1/16th please lol. Edited January 3, 2013 by Prostreet
ScrappyJ Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Really nice work there, Joe! Can't wait to see more. Your stuff is always cool to look at and I love your PM bodies!
hOLMS Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 Hello all....few updates for this week. I've worked on the flares for bottom of sides and fender wells, they also wrap around the back to the wheelie bar cutout....got a slick coat of primer on too. Much, much slicker now. I've got some more window treatment to go before that is wrapped up. After that, I'll have some filling work in the headlight and tailight areas and this will be pretty close to final finishing....I hope! Thanks for looking in and commenting. Everyone keep up the great work.
Prostreet Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Looks awesome Jeff, Are you cutting in door lines?
Mooneyzs Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Jeff... You are knocking this build out of the park Bro! The body work is just killer and that chassis looks awesome! Can't wait to see more.
vintagedragfan Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 it's beautiful Jeff the chassis looks killer too, awesome work man!
hOLMS Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks for the comment guys...have not had much time to work on this week, couple small things though. I think I'm getting closer to finishing this PM body. I've done some filling around/smoothing the headlights and the tailight section. Also, I've re-shaped the lead-in to the bottom of front window, not sure if that noticeable in pix but in now flares up with a curve. I also decided to redo the air opening between the fog light recesses, changed that to protrude out instead of extrude in and squared the ends instead of tapered. Next - still need to finish the window treatments and evaluate....fill, sand, primer, repeat! Door lines will probably be close to last.
