Coming to a track near you

One I'm starting in minutes. Gonna involve a lot of bodywork. Going to attempt to fill the seams where the body and bumpers meet. Gonna remove all chrome as not many cars I saw had it anyway.

Hey guys we love to see you smile

You are correct, there was zero chrome on them.

Starting with the body. I filed down the ugly seam and filled it with a styrene superglue mixture. It looks rough now but should sand smooth easily.

More to come soon

A before and after filler

Any comments welcome

A little more work. Sanded down the mold separation lines on the c pillars

Removed the inner lip from the tires so they will go on in reverse leaving the smooth side for decal lettering

Finished the bodywork on the left front

[wheaton79chris]

Got primer on and gonna work on a few small spots later

Got just one question. Should I fill in those lines on the side? I like a smooth look

Depends on what year you're going to be representing with the decals, by '92 the Ford teams had done away with that reveal, and went to the "slab side" style bodies.

So if you are going with the Bill Elliott cars fill it in and take the rolled rockers off and make the only entire body flat sided with skirts along the rockers with cutouts for the jacking points on both sides, and for the exhaust where it exits.

Not my best paint but it's on and I'm giving it as a Christmas present so no time to do it again
