A spray of wine
red and touch-ups with scraping paint on BMF and applying chrome silver
dots with the tip of a toothpick.
OK, disaster!
I had thought of the possibility but never tested. The front side went
low enough to display the tops of the carbs on the hood.
Remedy came from
my parts box. The looks are OK with the air scoop from the 70
Challenger.
I cut the
opening for the scoop.
Then placed the
scoop inside and glued.
Time for the
doors to get ready for painting. I applied BMF as in the photo. I will
keep the lower one as the metal kick plate.
12 February 2005
I took
two front seats from my parts box, but now the seat upholsteries did
not
match. So I decided to convert the rear bench appearance similar to the
front seats.
I marked the
frame contours and cut strips from 1-mm thick styrene. I first formed
the
upper and side members. Meanwhile, I cut some number of Evergreen 2-mm
half-round strips for the insides.
I glued the half-round
strips in place, and went from the seat back to the sitting cushion.
I finally put
in the absent parts of the outer parts. The reason why these are left
to
the last is, to cut to exact dimensions left between the half-round
strip
blocks.
