RCR's body mods... (Page 6/67) Amida JUL 23, 10:10 PM quote Originally posted by RCR: You are absolutely right. After putting the 500W lights in front to help expedite the drying, and it still didn't help in this 100% humidity, I've switched to good ol' Bondo brand filler. Now, back to sanding. Bob I never took a pic of it but I must have made 2 dozen profile templates to check symmetry between sides, and I used 3 different sized profile gauges. One thing for sure though...sanding sucks! Blacktree JUL 23, 11:32 PM Wow, this is kickass! I'm particularly interested in how the headlights turn out. RCR JUL 24, 06:55 PM Thanx for the praise, guys. Hopefully it all works out. The use of Bondo has sped things up a bit (and 3 days of vacation to boot ) Rob, The profile gauges are working pretty good. I made a bunch of new ones today. I discovered in the process that the centerline I created when I started was off by 1/4" so I've had to move things, but it does explain why lines weren't lining up a week ago. Nuf blah, blah...Here are some pics. Threw a guide coat on the plaster to see where I was.This determined my switch to plastic. First layer of Bondo: Added the ribbed molding to the front Most of the profile gauges I made Started matching the passenger side to the drivers side. The lines show areas in which the profiles match Adding filler to the other side And the side panel Bob RCR JUL 24, 06:56 PM Forgot to add, "The Work Table" Bob el_roy1985 JUL 25, 05:48 PM Very nice work so far. This is something I really want to try out someday. Amida JUL 25, 09:00 PM Maybe we should have a nose-off challenge to see who can finish their new nose first.

I don't think I need more incentive, but OK, what's the prize? j/k... Are you working on the 512 nose now? Updates?

For a trophy & a good bottle of wine/whiskey ? RCR AUG 15, 07:00 PM No update on the new front...I've been practicing on a snowmobile hood for my Dad. Now I should be able to get back on it. Bob Amida AUG 16, 09:42 AM New idea for a front intake scoop?
