Devilsnake98 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 I didn't cut them, and to be honest I didn't check if they fit until just now. They work just fine and look good with the taller roof. No jokes needed haha.
freakshow12 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Oh yeah. I forgot you are using the corrected body.
Devilsnake98 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Yep it is the corrected one. Not really pic worthy yet but I have the body and hood primed, blocked, and painted with Tamiya pure white, it's close to oxford white and the duplicolor I used on my box stock body didn't turn out good, so this is a great alternative. I'm waiting for the weather to clear up so I can clear coat the body.
freakshow12 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 If it were me, I wouldn't clear it. I have had better luck kith non metallic Tamiya paints by just adding one more colour coats and polishing it. Especially white. It lessens the chance of the clear yellowing over time. I have also had better luck with testors wet look clear over Tamiya stuff than their own clear. I'm sure you will be fine either way though. You have this build going the right direction for sure!
Devilsnake98 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 I use U-pol automotive clear that's in a spray can, it says right on the can it won't yellow or fade over time. I've used it over white before and it looks awesome after its cut and rubbed.
qkenuf4u Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 -MJS not a fan of the front end but the notch is my favorite car.... miss my 88 5.0...
Devilsnake98 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 One of my fav's too, I miss my 86 notch. Still waiting on some decent weather so I can clear this thing.
