Chuck Most Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Love it. It's amazing how natural those Magnum 500 wheels look on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volksrods Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for kind comments You could make copies of the door handle and horn grille. Take a small piece of clay or aluminum foil and take an impression of the existing pieces. Fill with 5-minute epoxy. When set up, pop the parts out, paint silver or foil them, and PRESTO! You have your missing parts! Since the running boards are not identical, but right and left sides, you would have to scratchbuild the missing running board out of styrene sheet... but that shouldn't be too hard to do. Thanks for your help Harry. Never tried clay as a mold. I use RTV silicone for my wheels and tires however using clay would be easier and quicker for small parts like door handles.
