Scalper Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 Got some more work done. Look like the hood need another coat. My molotov pen has gone dull tried to chrome the bumber. engine now in the frame. now never had such brtille plastic. The wheel shafts both snapped off. Going to have to intsall the back rims and back half of there tire so I can install the wheels with out more breaking
svend66b@gmail.com Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Great colorchoice on that groundshaking '55 and convincing looking weathering on the manifold, btw i do like that "Gösserstand" you use for painting the body? Im looking forward to see more wip on the project.
NYLIBUD Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 The car is coming out great.I really like the color.
Scalper Posted June 13, 2020 Author Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks guys. Git some more work done. Chassis frame went on pretty good. thanks for looking all feedback and comments welcomed.
Scalper Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 Thank you. Rear axle and supports. All installed. Hopeing all 4 wheels sit flush and level. We will find out.
Scalper Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 Been a while since last update been having for issues with the front end. Nothing lines up all parts are brittle. She’s fighting me. Front wheels drying in place. She’s not going to the junk pile yet
Scalper Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 First mock up. Not as crooked as feared hope after all
Mike Williams Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Classy looking '55. Two questions, is that flat black on the interior tinwork? How did you get the door panel lines to be lighter in shade? Great model.

She’s not going to the junk pile yet This is definitely a more difficult kit to build correctly, especially with the front end tubing. I’ve often wondered why the skill level is only 2? You are doing a fantastic job on this build. Mock up looks killer. Can’t wait to see the final reveal.

How did you get the door panel lines to be lighter in shade? Great model. Yes it’s flat black. For the panels it’s probabky because I did not use primer I just sprayed over the bare plastic. Supplies are limited at this time. About to jump in the interior and cage. Hope fully it lines up. I’ve seen some builds where the builders just gave up on the cage. Skill level 13
Scalper Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 She’s a hot mess but still going to complete this warped mess
Brutalform Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Are you assembling the cage after it was painted? Edited June 25, 2020 by Brutalform
Scalper Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 Just now, Brutalform said: Are you assembling the cage after it was painted? I am. I will touch it up before putting the seat in.
Brutalform Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 If I remember correctly, you could assemble and glue MOST of the cage before painting. Even the chrome plated parts could be stripped and glued, all depending if the builder chooses to keep the chrome or not. That makes it a heck of a lot easier than dealing with painted parts. The cement would pretty much “weld” the bare styrene. Like I said.. this is a challenging kit to build. Looks like yours will turn out just fine. Can’t wait to see it completed.

Well decided to see what the decals would do. And for decals from 1991 did very well with just warm water. Best part of the kit ?
Scalper Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 Small update. Still have not given up. Glass all installed. Tail lights on. Still need to do the Panel lines and chute rear wing. Paint the hood scoop and hood again. Thanks for looking
Scalper Posted August 8, 2020 Author Posted August 8, 2020 Having issues painting the hood scoop and rubbing out of paint. Decision decisions
