Re: BlackSheep’s MPC 1957 Flip Nose Chevy Corvette
Nose and rear bumper updates...
Glued lower chins on both front and rear bumper areas. There will be some body work done to smooth out the seams. I used Tenax instead of tube glue, liquid glue, gorilla glue and CA glue because I needed a really strong adhesion.
Rear chin bumper fought me for three days. Fit was poor even after sanding as much as I can without losing too much surface area to create a smooth flat fit. Worked in sections at a time. Day 1 - center area, Day 2 - right corner because that was the most troublesome spots, and finally, Day 3 (today) - left corner. Body work will commence soon to smooth out the seams.

The joys of working with older molds. Been there and done that too many times to count Tom. Looks like you're whipping her into shape though.

That’s a lot of putty... 
is this the stuff that cleans up with a water dampened cloth or q-tip?

I really am more coherent than it seems... most days. Dang autocorrect.
It was Earl Scheib, I don’t know who this impostor is!
