1937 ford " Weedster" speedster WIP update 3/28

I started this project as a forum build for another site, but wanted to share it here as well.

 The idea i had was to build a low sleek roadster, or "speedster"  ultra modern style 37 ford convertible. I started with a stock Revell body and decided to section it 1/8" to get a sleeker appearance. Since I had never sectioned a body this was uncharted territory for me.  I started by taping the body where I wanted to make my cut, then shot some gray primer on the taped line of the body. Once that dried, I used a razor saw and made the cuts on the body. I had to seperate the front half form the rear half, as I will have to splice in a piece of styrene or old body to make up the length the top half of the body now will be.So far I'm pretty pleased with the progress

I also added a rear section from a tbird kit to give it that "speedster" look.
