View Full Version : Project gone awry
mopar_man 03-12-2006, 08:58 PM So I picked up the Dub City Old Skool Lincoln today with some visions in my head. They quickly faded:

I was drilling out the front rivet in the roof when suddenly the plastic exploded. As I rolled my chair back, I heard a "crunch" which was the windshield. Too bad too. Had it stayed together, I could've trimmed that bit off at the top and made a convertible. Unless there's a way to glue that back together without it being detectable? I'm saying not though. I guess tomorrow I pick up another one to try :freak:
Dude502 03-12-2006, 09:03 PM Oye! Hate when that happen's. The very first car I drill'd apart pretty much explod'd completly. Ya could alway's turn the linc into a car wreck so it ain't a total lose. :dude:
i want the parts ( all ) broken glass too...pm me we will set up a deal.
also is the glass holding down the roof...in other words does the roof come off with the glass...thanks gunn :wave:

You have a PM. And yes. The roof is attached to the glass then the glass attaches to the car.
jnkfleet 03-12-2006, 11:24 PM Dang that's a pisser there...You could reassemble the glass with Superglue (cracks would most likely still show but),then rust paint & thrash the body,I can print You a set or two of bullet holes decals, and go for the "it was jacked and involved in a driveby,police chase/shootout" look. :lol:

Hmmm....you may have sparked my interest again. If gunn doesn't take, I might do that.
Swifty 03-12-2006, 11:59 PM Or you could make it a demo derby car- derby cars don't need no stinkin' glass! ;)

All I had in mine were an upright bar, a window net an one whack'd out Dude behind the wheel. :dude: Same went for the rollover cars.

This one needs glass for the roof to stay up :(
ClearHooter 03-13-2006, 12:19 AM OK. What caused it. Knock wood *** Never had that happen. Want to avoid it.

Upon firther examination of the pictures, I see you're right. Could make a good "Deathmobile" though, if it's the year Lincoln I'm thinking of.

To be honest, I don't know. I was just drilling it and it blew up.
