Mooneyzs Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Jeff... Nice work bud. looks great!! I'll take one in 1/16th scale please
hOLMS Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Hi all....been taking a break from this one, sort of. Actually, I've been contemplating for a month or two on a big modification. I decided to go ahead with the plan. For a while now, I've felt the body was too wide. So I broke down and made the mod this week with a nice wedge cut right down the center. 3/16" was removed from the width over top of frt fenderwells and around .14 removed from width over rear fenderwells. I've got a before shot with front width traced on an index card and an after shot over that to see the difference. Looks quite a bit more bullet-like and I'm satisfied with finally moving on towards the finish.....needs a bit of filler here and there, otherwise, the two halves went back together very well. This has been a fun journey so far and will try to finish b4 much longer. Thanks for looking in.
Mooneyzs Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Jeff.... You are a brave man but this looks killer. I love this body and can't wait to see more of this build. You are knocking it out of the park for sure!!
vintagedragfan Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 oh ya, that is a great improvement! I think you did right Holms, makes a huge difference!!
GoatGuy Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I agree with Chris - you are brave for making a big cut, but it looks great. Immaculate work. Looking forward to more.
Magic Photos Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Jeff will you be molding this body would love to get 1 or 2 of them for my slot cars. Great work love the detail.
futurattraction Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 It takes a lot of nerve to take that step, Jeff, but I completely think you did the right thing, and it appears you pulled it off without a hitch. Great job, buddy!
