Spent a few hours each day this week in between primer coats drying on the Cuda to get the rest of the foam on the 507. Started sculpting too! Getting to look like a car in a Pinky, foamy, non-metallic way!

I'm on the hunt for the donor car now!

Cheers

After getting the Cuda blocked out and primed, I jumped back on the 507 and got the rest of the foam sculpted. A couple areas I need to go back over some more since I'm not happy with the lines, but overall, the shape is there!

Up next will be the bodywork. I'm thinking a may glass this with one layer just to hold everything together, then start the bodywork on top of that.

More to come as it takes shape!

Cheers

Please tell me you are going to keep this car forever!!!

I have to get to Texas to see how this much work can be completed in so little time by a single human!!!

Oh yeah, Ryan. This car ain’t going nowhere! I’m now planning on making two, but still, no way either will leave!

Yes, I keep telling you to come down here and when I get a YYZ overnight I’m calling ya!

This rear is getting more work done to it than a farmer's daughter in an adult film!

Tail light positioning and I'm liking the lines back here more and more. I'm going to massage a template for the edges of the rear quarter to make sure they are symmetrical. Right now, it looks pretty good. License plate relief and trunk opening are there too.

I'm hoping by the end of next month the car will be filled and primed. I need to make a steel frame with rollers to position this on since the weight of this thing is more than I thought!

I'm closing in on buying the donor car too!

More to come....

Cheers

Headlight bucket time! In studying the whole front end, I needed to recess those headlight buckets and also extend the cap a little bit further. This added the extra lip I needed as well as the angle now being correct.

Every little step is a big move forward. This took a good day to get it right. I'm describe it more in detail once I get it fitted up. More to come!

Cheers

Great work, Dave. I enjoy your updates.

Thanks, Tim. That means a lot! Hopefully you’ll see it in person one day!

Saw these pics on FB Dave so I thought I would share them for motivation (which is moot I guess when I'm talking to you, lol).

**A12pilot** · #10 07-01-2020, 06:48 PM

Thanks for posting those, Mark! Yes, motivation is lacking around here for sure

I’m not sure of the show, but they have the BIGGEST show ID passes I’ve ever seen!

Cheers

Dave
