purepmd Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Hey Everyone, Just thought some new pictures were in order. The first pictures show the storage compartment door jams and striker plates installed. Them you'll see the main door jams are in place. Since i got the idea to open the radiator access door on the front, I had to modify the doghouse some. Found some goo reference photos of a 352 for sale to go from.The doors themselves have had the windows resized and shaped to be more accurate and I moved the door handles down for the later model. There are the begininings of the door palels, too. Preliminary work on the rooftop A/C unit, So/So results. Test fitting the doors revieled to little clearance, so the jams will have to be sanded a bit to allow for primer and paint. Lastly are the parts that will become the door latch mechanisms...turn the handles to open the doors kind of thing. Thanks for checking it out. Mark. P.S. Bowtie, I am a charter member. Some days its like a sickness. lol. Edited April 15, 2014 by purepmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wow I have to keep reminding myself this is 1/25 scale. Are the door hinges functional ? - Those are really top notch ! Very Impressive work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepmd Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sean, they are functional. In a couple of the pics you can see them folded open, They are the Model Car Garage Big Rig piano hinges. Good Stuff. Thanks for the compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purepmd Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 No, most of my stuff was destroyed when a water pipe froze and burst flooding the entire basement of my house. 45 years of building and collecting wiped out. Been salvaging a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
