H.A.K Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 OK so its about 60-75% done. Need the flames and pinstripping on the body. Need to find the right hubcaps, and put them seat covers on the front seat. Then glue it all together. Need to get them flames on it.

JasonFL Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's really coming together. Can't wait to see it after you lay them flames down. Not sure if you figured out the seat cover thing but couldn't you just use a piece of scrap material with the same pattern on it and wrap the seats? I pretty sure they have those big rolls of material in Walmart. I would just go see if they have any scraps laying around or just buy a small amount. This way it's the same pattern and gives you the material feeling. Just a suggestion. Anyways, nice build, keep it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.A.K Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ok so check it out. I got it all taped up, and copyed the flames from my car from the photos of the 1.1 car and put the same patten "as best as I could" on the tape. I didn't have any pics of the roof so I had to try to remember how it looks. Now I need to try and cut it all out. Never had to do cutting like this befor so I'm hoping I can pull it off.

crazyjim Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've been told by an expert that you should cut the tape on a self healing cutting board. Xacto blades will tend to snap when used on glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Setzer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I really like what you are doing with this build! Good luck on completing it on time! I cut masks and decalls on a sheet of glass and I haven't had any problems with the number 11 blades I use breaking!

W-409 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Now we have to hope that paint don't go under the tape... You're doing great job, keep at it. Subject is great, haven't seen too many '63 Chevrolets, especially Wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
