bryan_m Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 I had to remove a section of the windshield trim that mounts it under the cowl panel, because i opened it up and added the screen to it..... theres still enuff left to mount it on there one more shot....... im gonna do the bumpers, and windshield trim now....then back to the engine. cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 a Huge thank you goes out to Ben Barth, he is trading me a stock cutlass hood for my 442 hood! thanks again Ben, and i added some other stuff in there for you too.......all 442 parts. cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks Glu! im trying to make sure everything is going to fit properly before i start painting everything, that way i dont end up like i usually do........discouraged by poor planning! more to come cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 ok, i have got to duplicate this totally destroyed convertible top.......... so i mocked up the interior, and im using these heavy papertowels, ill soak them in white glue, shape them and let them dry..... im gonna have to omit the boot, and just crunch up the towel in there to look like the top.......or at least try to. more to come cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Looking good, Bryan. Man, how hard would it be to open up that front grill? That would match the windshield intake.
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 you musta been readin my mind buddy, i was thinkin the same thing! bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 You can do that tattered cover with a kleenex, white glue and paint. It would look very cool.
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 the detail in the grille is kinda thin buddy, if i could scratchbuild the grilles, that would work..... bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah, that's what I figured, it's pretty thin. And you want it to be as realistic as possible, so blackening it might be the way to go.
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 i might be able to cut it out and replace it with some screen that i have thats almost the same size......i dunno we will see. bryan
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 I hate to say it but thats about it for me tonight, my side is botherin me again, so its time to lie down and just vegatate in front of the TV...... more to come in the morning guys, thanks for the comments, and for looking. cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 Hey Virgil, i was just lookin at my reference pics of this car, and it looks like the grilles are missing! i never noticed it before....ill have to pull some more shots off the DVD tomorrow and make sure, but if they are missing that would be awesome!! cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 looks like they are missing to me Virgil......ill find out for sure when i get more pics of the car. have a good night gentlemen. tune in tomorrow bryan
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 yea Ray, i thought they were missing....i never noticed it until earleir tonight. that will make things a whole lot easier! cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Bring out the Dremel and cut those suckers off. This is great, it will add some interest to the model for sure.
