Thanks folks!!

Today, I took a small break from body work and decided to work on the windows. AMT had both side windows in the up position, so I decided to display the driver's side with the window down. After removing the driver's side window and cleaning all the remaining edges up, I had the injector marks to contend with. There was a nasty one in the middle that I was able to sand away and one right above the passenger's seat behind the windshield that I was able to sand away as well. The others will require a bit of filler and then some sanding to get right.

Wow! Very impressive work!

Nice!

Thanks fellas!!

I've been working on the engine bay for the last few days. When dealing with black in these areas, I tend to use a lot of different shades and add every detail I can to keep it from being boring. Bit by bit things are shaping up in here.

Alright folks....

I've got the engine compartment finished up save for getting the radiator true with the core support. Dunno what happened there but I'll get it all fixed up in the coming updates.

Sorcery, I tell you!

That looks great.

Wait.... you mean to tell me it ain’t done yet?!?!?!

Looking good, Joe!

Thanks Lyle and Tom!

Tom: LOL

Getting these panel inserts into the body is proving to be a tricky process. I'm having to thin out & slightly trim the edges of the outer inserts & headlight buckets as well as the lower grille to get them to fit in the recesses properly.

Before:



and after:



I do like what AMT did with the outside rearview mirrors. They pretty much pinned the mirrors OOB:



and they fit pretty well once inserted into the holes. Maybe a little clean up but this is definitely a step in the right direction so the mirrors will stay in place when handling later.

Very nice! I'd so knock those mirrors off.

And that's why I pin just about every appendage on auto models. lol. Thanks Mike!!
