MAGNUM4342 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I sent it priority mail over two weeks ago. I just can't remember if I sent them to you or to Tom. I think it might have been Tom since he was the one who private messaged me. I'll see if I can recall the deleted message.

I really need to check back more often. As Kevin said, I'm waiting on a few parts. All is proceeding smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I really like how this came out. Yet more resin to buy... Question: did you remove the catalytic converter from the Olds chassis prior to casting it? Not a huge issue if no, but it would save a couple hours of grinding and filling.

Repstock Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I'm scratchbuilding the grille currently. The horizontal bars stick out a bit further than the vertical bars, so nothing I had would work. Also, this way we get the correct amount of squares. Missing Link has been a huge help and supporter of this project. Edited July 17, 2012 by Repstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm slowly getting there. Here's the front end laid together. The space between the bumper and the grille will be part of the body for easier painting. Also, the grille is a loose fit to allow for paint buildup and plating thickness.

Casey Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is the grille going to be molded "open" or "closed", as shown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repstock Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is the grille going to be molded "open" or "closed", as shown? Closed. Since the horizontal bars stick out a bit further than the vertical ones, I had to make the grille rather than use a parts box item. This was the only way to get it to look half way decent. I've done open ones before, but not with a pattern this fine. It probably also helps the caster to have it closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
