Intmd8r Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 The tires will be flattened latter . the method I use is to remove plastic from the back side with a dremel tool to thin the plastic and then I can poke holes though the plastic with a hobby knife or what ever I need to get the results I need . HOPE THIS HELPS Hope you post pictures of the process-I'd like to see it in more detail. I know there are different ways of achieving the look, but I always like to find new tips. Keep up the good work
southpier Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 superb! was the Ford bulletin available online? or personal resource? thanks
bpletcher55 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 I ran across it on the H.A.M.B. web site,
misterNNL Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 This is the best thing I have seen you post so far!You are certainly expanding your skills.The thinness of the sheet metal and rust holes are making it look very realistic. Do you apply the rust color with a small piece of sponge to get that effect? Thanks for continuing to share.
bpletcher55 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 TOM , Thanks for the kind words .I use a regular paint brush , I will try and do a tutorial on how I get the rust effect that I do . I am out of work due to back problems and waiting surgery so I should have time .the rust color is about 3-6 colors added one after a nother .
misterNNL Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks Blair.I look forward to trying your technique for myself as I am sure others also will.Good luck with your surgery.
bpletcher55 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) THANKS GUY,S , I got some painting done and started on some of the detail wiring . yesterday I spent all of to day in bed after seeing the DR,S .for my up coming surgery .I know alot of these details will be unseen when this is done ,but I,ll know they are there .

southpier Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 looks like time well spent. I like knowing what's under it all even if no one else sees.
Atmobil Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Maybe you should just leave the body off, put it in parts next to the frame that is sitting on axlestands in a garage like somone just started a new project
bpletcher55 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 GAUTE , I like that idea kind of a [honey look what I just dragged home ] seen ? .I,ll be thinking about that . THANKS .
bpletcher55 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 got some wiring done ,it,s hard to see the plug wires are done and added wires to the passengers head light that is gone , also corrected the steering box and drag link location ,it is now mounted under the frame as it should be .
Foxer Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 All the wiring adds so much and looks right .. slight color shows through all your heavy rust adding to the realism. I'm sure glimpses of all this will show through in th eend and makes it all worth the trouble. Plus, WE get to see it all as it's being built!
