Ira Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) CAM-AIR! I picked up couple of a Deals Wheels Glue Bombs for a kit bashing project. The plan is to make a Custom Deals Wheels '57 Chevy Street Machine! The Chevy was held together with a Lot of old Testors Glue. I got it wet and put it in the freezer overnight. I managed to get the model apart without doing too much more damage to the body. I glued the cracks in the body with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label CA Glue. Fortunately the body damage wont show on the finished Heavy Chevy. The Camaro Body was in pretty good shape. I decided the put the Camaro Fenders on the Chevy. So, I cut off the body sides with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. More Coming... Edited November 25, 2013 by Ira
cobraman Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Ya baby, another Ira slice and dice. I will be watching to see what your "sick" mind comes up with this one ! : )
gwolf Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Oh man, the actual model body looks cooler than the box art!
Ira Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 MAKE IT WIDE! After moving the Z-28 Sides around a little I found the Perfect mounting points on the '57 Chevy Body. I held the body parts together and marked the mounting line for the Z-28 Sides. Next, I glued the sides in place with Zap-A-Gap Green Label Glue. Here is the rear view... More Coming...

Ira Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 PULL IT IN! The Z-28 sides stick out too much at the front/bottom... I cut along the seam and moved the front panels in closer! More Coming...
Ira Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 THE REAR END! I cut a piece of sheet plastic to fit between the rear fenders, for a New Roll Pan. Then I glued it in place. The bottom edge of the body was a little rough, so I marked a straight line above the problem area... I cut along the line with a Cut-Off Wheel in the Dremel Tool. Then I cut a length of plastic strip to fit and glued it in place! More Coming...
