Why don't you just continue as you have been doing and make the rest of the car out of the same wood? Just fill in all the remaining cross sections and you are done.

Thanks for the compliment, Tim!

Oh, it's not taking over my thread. No worries! That's a beauty and inspirational for sure. It's downright mind boggling what they can do with that metal.

Steve, that MDF is heavy, and not overly cheap. I just bought the foam and will be sculpting it out starting tomorrow. I'l update later this week!:laugh:

Ok, that match stick guy is amazing! So, I should make a matchstick car? If I hit anything the body would bust up into a billion pieces!

I fabricated up thre windshield frame using measurements from the model along with the windshield gasket I have. I also cut out the rear wheel wells. This frame will get a sheet of metal screwed to it to keep its shape when removed. I'll then ship this to the company that will use this template and make the glass for me. It really gives the car more of the car look! :hmmm: :biggthumpup:

Headlight buckets should be here next week and I'll mount those which will give me the correct position for the openings I'll need. The buckets are going to be from the 47-54 Chevrolet 3100 along with the trim rings.

Up next will be foam cavity filling! :biggthumpup:

Cheers:beers:

I could see Fred Flintstone driving that the way it is!

Yesterday I started to do some foam installation along with a little filler to see how it will take shape. Once the whole body is done I can sculpt the curves more precisely. I'm extremely pleased! Less typing.... more foaming!!

Cheers:beers:

Wow

I sure hope this turns out well. You're putting a lot of work into it.

Total rookie here but could you use spray foam?

Thanks, Freddie. I think it will. Crush, the spray foam would be a big mess, and carving this foam is a smaller big mess, so I decided on the smaller big mess:frown:.

Updates later this week! Coming together nicely! I think if things go well I may pop a body next month!:headbang:

Cheers:beers:
