Sixx Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 You mean like this?. Yep, I like that too. Then again, I'm a sucker for a Sedan Delivery (& a readhead.... Mmmmm readheads) That's it!!! That is how it's going. I've got em filled, and scribed the door line. also opened the grille shell for a photo-etched grille. I'll get some pics soon to show progress!!

surfjunke Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 The sedan looks great, so does the 3W coupe. Like the stance, wheels & that cool Hemi.
Mooneyzs Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 This is a really nice build. It is looking great so far.and like what you are doing to it. Can't wait to see more pics of your progress. Keep up the great work.
my80malibu Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Why not cut the doors open and scribe and cut a door in back that would make it look Mo Betta
Sixx Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Why not cut the doors open and scribe and cut a door in back that would make it look Mo Betta Umm, my skill's suck at hinging doors!!!!! LOL!!! That would be cool, I'm not there in my abillities yet!
Sixx Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Ok, just a small update...like I said, I'm slow!! LOL!!! The first pic shows that I filled the dimples in for the cowl lights...don't like em This one shows the filled side windows...yeah, I cheated...I used the kits glass for it!! Here is my scribed rear door...that was a pain
Sixx Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 This shot is of the photo-etched grille that I'm using This is a mesh thats going on the backside of the radiator
Sixx Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Now I'm working on these AWESOME aluminum coil-overs...from R.B. Motion. They are pretty hard for me & my big monkey fingers, but man, they're cool!!!! I did take a break to do a slot-car body!!!! Not done yet Thanks for checking this out!!!! Sixx
Sixx Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 I finished the rear shocks, I'm doing the the fronts now! My eyes have crossed now, and my fingers are cramped!! I've gotta do a new exhaust system, driveshaft, and a couple of other things, then I'll get pics posted. Thanks , Sixx
John Pol Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Doing a good job so far so did you scribe the back door the way you said your going do using the back side of your number 11 blade? John Pol
Sixx Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Doing a good job so far so did you scribe the back door the way you said your going do using the back side of your number 11 blade? John Pol John, yes I did. I used masking tape on the inside and outside of door line...I actually used a blade that the smallest part of the point was snapped off. Seemed to work pretty good compared to a new blade!?? I went very slow and light pressure, to the depth I wanted. Looks ok, doesn't it??? I'll have more pics soon!!! Sixx
Scalper Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 That grill and Rad is going to look sweet.
Wagoneer81 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Lood great! I love the SD conversion and the nasty little Hemi oozing out from under the hood... Wild combo!

Sorry for the cruddy photo, if ya look close you can see em sticking out.
