vwrabbit Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks Bill! So what do you guys do for highlighting the cut out areas of the doors, etc? Just about ready for the color coat, but want to get the doors and other areas to look more realistic. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nice work so far. This kit has so many issues makes me wonder if you would have been better off starting with the Monogram kit. I'm working on two of the AMT kits also and find them very challenging. Your work on the grill convinces me yours will turn out well. Love all the photos!

62rebel Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 see; not being a Corvette fan, i never saw the error built into the door panel tops.... i've given up on more than one AMT '53 because of the interior tub/chassis/body interference issues.... the engineers laid it out a certain way but neglected to explain WHY....

rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm curious to see if you plan to fix the Chevrolet emblem with a large V like in the photo. I want to see how/if you do. Just a little detail. Please keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrabbit Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I will use the kit supplied V after stripping the chrome and painting it gold. Hopefully it will work well enough. If not, I'll probably make one using some sheet and a jeweler's file. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I missed that detail in the kit, thanks for the info. Guess I need to start looking at the parts tree closer. lol This Forum is a great place to learn stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrabbit Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Color coat on the body. Need to sand it out, fix a few spots and spray on another coat yet. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernurd Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It seemed to be going along nice. Did you finish it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
