Don B Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ron, it's really coming together. The BMF work looks great. I bet the gills were lots of fun. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 First I want to give a big THANKS! to everyone for your encouraging replies to this build. My job commitments are taking a lot of my time lately but I'm still making some progress. Today I finished up the grill details. The headlight lenses had those awfull pins molded to the backs of them so I shaved them off and sanded the back of the lense smooth for a better look. I covered the holes in the backs of the bucket with BMF. The overall grill color is Testor's Metallizer magnesuim spray. Looks like I need to touch up the grill wash a little. I used the Tamiya flat black and it seems to act a little strange when thinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi all, I was messing around at the bench yesterday while watching the race and decided I didn't like the kit's chrome tail and back up lights so I came up with this quick solution. I made a mold with Micro-Mark mold putty and casted the new lights with 5 min. epoxy. I mixed in some Tamiya clear red for the tail lights. Not perfect for sure but I think a bit better than the kit parts ! Comments always welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatherdevine Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Ron, that is one fine looking build you got yourself there. The tail and back up lights look awesome in the pictures, it sure is better then the chrome ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
