[bryan_m]

i just noticed that the hood doesnt have the correct chrome trim on the front edge, so ill have to scribe it in...........and im so bad at that! LOL but, they are short n straight, so it shouldnt be too bad....

more to come

bryan

[JasonFL]

I like your idea of stuff being in the back seat, that would really be the icing on the cake. That hood shouldn't be to bad, just throw a piece of tape down and do your first couple scribes really really slow. I found going that slow helps make the first couple grooves and then it's all butter from there. It's well worth the patients.

Nothing someone with your skills can't handle, keep it coming.

[bryan_m]

close enuff for government work!!

more to come

bryan

[bryan_m]

i made a jamb for the trunk, this thing wont open, so it didnt matter what it really looked like, i added some pieces on the left corner to knock it out of alignment, like the real car.....

more to come! thanks for lookin

bryan

[bryan_m]

Ok, how about a scratchbuilt bungee cord to hold the trunk down??

i think it came out pretty good! and it actually works!

cheers

bryan

[bryan_m]

cheers!

bryan

[Dr. Cranky]

I love the bungee cord set up. Nice work.

[59 Impala]

This is just plain AWESOME Bryan, and yep, you dated yerself. But guess what? I just dated myself with the answer. :lol: Dan

P.S.

By the way, I love the bungee cord.

[cobraman]

Clever, very clever.

[Alyn]

Cool details, Bryan.

you got some really grimy mojo going on here.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Hey Bryan, you may have missed it earlier, but there were a couple of us that were interested in your bumper pitting process. If you do not mind sharing, would be really appreciate your technique.
