RCR's body mods... (Page 11/67)
RCR APR 03, 10:50 AM
OK, weather is better and I had a couple days off. One of the issues I've been working around is how to shape the inside edges of the headlight pods. Too hard to get a tool in there and way too much sanding in a tight area, as seen here...



The only way to think of was to cut the backs out and work on the pod and back as seperate pieces. I'll glue it all back together before making the mold.

Here the back is cut and sitting back a couple inches for the pic.


Here's the other side with most of the filling/sanding complete.


I also fixed some winter/storeage damage. Now it'll be back to work on the main fascia. More later...

Another update...But, I got tired of shaping headlights and I got tired of looking at taped body lines so I did a little work on the hood.

I made a small guide to help shape the body line using cardboard and tape. I glued it to the hood to use as an edge for the filler. Here it is mudded flat.



Then a guide coat and some sanding.

I am assuming because the way the hood opens you could not do this

I am really impressed! I like the direction you are going with your headlights. Are you trying to resemble a Koenig Ferrari 355 ??? Very Nice though!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not quit!
