Still fighting me. Having issues with the glass. What a mess. But I saved most of it.  Trying to cut the side windows out with it glued in.  Trying not to break anything.

Who makes the blazing black paint? Is it spray can or airbrush?

Hi. The  paint is spray can. Testors one coat.  I also have 76 caprice. In under glass somewhere with the same paint.

My thoughts are with you, when I hear you say "cutting glass ".... Assembled...Take Care Andre!

 

[Scalper]

Decided to keep the side glass in.  Scared I'm going to mess it up. Here's how she sits now 

Thanks for looking.

Body test fit before front bumper installed in rear view mirror. 

 

Might turn urn out ok after all 

 

 

thanks for looking. 

[Rider]

Looking good man. 

[Scalper]

Thanks.  I glued the front bumper on. But the realized I have to assemble it after i marry the chassis to the body.  Bumper came off ok.  Phew lesson learned. 

[Scalper]

Front bumper installed. Next the headlights. 

Thanks for looking

    That is looking great!!  Black and red in that

combo always looks good to me.

    I have a Fujimi kit of the 911 turbo, but I wish

it was that version. Those cleaner lines just look

right to me.

   Very nice job on this!

thanks. Lots of trial and error.  I think it took 4 times to get the right stance. Ect. I know what to do now the next time I build this kit.

Care to share what it took to fix as I have a few of the Fujimi Porsche Enthusiast kits...

I pasted this reply I got from another forum 

Since the rear end is independent suspension you have to shorten the torque tube connecting the two trailing arms.

On my model ,I sectioned 5/16" out of the center of the torque tube then drilled and pinned it back together using some medium wire.

Trial fit the suspension with trailing arms and wheels mounted to see just how much you have to narrow the tube to make it look right.

After the tube is narrowed you will find that it might contact the frame so alittle cutting and sanding of the frame might be needed.

Lastly you need to shorten the shocks , do this on the top of the shock where it fits in the shock tower and nothing will be visible.

I did not mount that beautiful engine in the car so If you plan to do so you will need to shorten the axel shafts.

Check out my post "73 911 Carrera" in this same sports car forum for some pics.

this is the proper way.  

 

I cut cut the shocks and removed the rear wheel spacers. 

 

Lots of trial and error.

Much appreciated...that will help when I start to build mine.

First phase of decals done.  Next to do is cut decal from panel lines and then I think she is done. 

All comments welcomed.
