bryan_m Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 to make this nasty ripped up convertible top, i had to take the kit boot and cut it out soit will look like the frame of the top once i cover it with material.... so i marked it, and hacked it out... it still has to be sanded and cleaned up before i can start makin the top cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yes, I love where the cover is headed. YOu will be able to get some undulations on there and make it look raggedy. Nice, nice, nice. Yes, keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ok, the engine is done! well, it still needs a coil, but ill get to that after the body is on the frame...... heres a shot of the underside, i still have to connect the exhaust.... more to come cheers bryan Seriously, would love to see some actual "work in progress" pics, some step by step of what you are foing here,.
