bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 you musta been readin my mind buddy, i was thinkin the same thing! bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You can do that tattered cover with a kleenex, white glue and paint. It would look very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 the detail in the grille is kinda thin buddy, if i could scratchbuild the grilles, that would work..... bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 2, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
