closed it on top of the grille , still very rough and made plates behind the headlights , in between those i can place a radiator .
then drilles a hole for the bonnet catcher



and glued a pin under the bonnet now it stays in place



then put a lot of work in the tips of the side wings where the corners of the hood meet teh tips of the wings .. that didnt meet up nice and i put styrene on the wings and sanded it in shape



whole car untill now , front ofg the bumper is in rough bondo for the second time now



next think of clean inner wings and make something nice as a firewall

made some fog lights sunken in the bumper ... and just put a bit of primer on the headlights / grille and the bumper to see how it looks and if the shape is good ...





i dont have a plan .. the bumpercorners need more shape maybe try to make some wider wings and let them run into the bumper ...

maybe i will use these actualy of a cobra



front bumper is glued under , and loosly put a wing against it , off course that will need shaping and if i put them on make them one with the body

btw it kinda has got the range rover vibe now lol



put the last bondo on the fb and around the headlights .. tomorrow i can really sand them flat and in shape .. the corners of the bumper will run through around the corner later with styrene ...

made some bumpercorners on the side from styrene , and sanded them in shape (no bond yet)



and sanded the rest , the line between grille and bumper needs scribing some bondo balls (lol @ the word) got in the seem

did some wheel arch work a few minutes ago .. used these boxy shaped edges cut out of a ford pick up ... fit perfect and syle wise fit better , the other ones made it look like a range rover .. these are cool

you can also see the depth in the headlights and the depth in the foglights i made in the bumper , took a while to get the shape and edge right .. needs more cleaning later to really make it smooth



works well , the arches really create depth in the side





also got a edge o the indide of the well , wehn i have done the rear i need to really clean it up

just did the rear ones , now i need to sadn and shape them a bit maybe a line of bondo along the outside ..

its kingsday today here in holland , a lot of flea markets .. so i found this cutting matte for 50 cents




but i went to look for toycars tyres and maybe wheels , nothing ... all junk and ... untill i found this one , super simple but those rims look cool

also 50 cents so ...







going to ass realism to the brake discs and the rims for the front will be more narrow with less wide lip

but reality is that they are too wide / bulky ... lets say it starts to look like a jada toy car ...

i can def. use the rims , i have that opel blitz i build .. when i will rebuild that into a hauler i will use the wheels on that perfect in size and width ..

for now i found a set of white walls in a box i forgot about , together with chrome steelies i think it looks wicked ..

will become more vintage looking , the kit bronco also includes a steel window visor .. that will fot with the wheels and style i think

was een leuke gok maar die velgen zijn te lomp , te breed etc ... ik kan ze wel gebruiken voor een ander projectje als ik mijn opel blitz ga veranderen in een custom oprijwagen ..

voor nu deze keus gemaakt white wall banden met chromen steelies , ga iets meer vintage kwa stijl , in de kit zit ook een stalen zonneklep ...

look this is too much .. to wide and to jada like



much better and realistic

back on track , this is just perfect , exactly the look and feel i love >

visor on

started on the taillights today , just 2 round hollow plastic bushes against eitch other in the lower section , simple and clean





then i cleaned the lower seem of the talgate and let the side panellines run through to the bottom so its a whole tailgate with the lights in it




later i can deside if i will make a strip under the tailgate and maybe some small sideskirts under the side and a front lip under the bumper , maybe even clean the tailgate section in the middle that kind of looks bulky
