gear buster; "Talk about being "GREEN with ENVY"....
Oh Cmon ! That was an easy one G.B.!

Can I get a copy of the video??? I likes that Green Machine very much!!! Nice touch with the sidepipes. A working rumble seat??? Dang that's way tooooooo much. I don't believe that was an Aurora factory option, lol... RM

Fer T-jet Jim
Bill - Thanks for the tutorial on the wheel wells and the added benefit of dealing with the ghost lines. I was going to ask how dark lines show up when the goop is not contaminated. I am redoing a Torino right now and getting the shape above the wheel well is a challenge. After trying to get the shape right, I can't imagine dremeling to get the ghost lines out!
Jim

You guys always lay it on so thick. So back at'chas. Without the HT braintrust I'd be left to my own devices. Many thanx! :wave:

The rumbler is not as delicate as it looks! It's been cartwheeled plenty. The lid actually locks into the chassis in the open position, and when closed it snaps down tightly against the rear apron. It can only be opened by first sliding it forward in much the same manner as one would remove the battery cover from a TV/DVD remote control. Only then can it be pivoted into position. In either position the lid is very secure.



More on ghost lines.

T-Jim makes a good point that should be addressed. The answer hangs in the ballance. 3 ways to go.

1. A "direct graft" of the damaged area, AKA transplant. Naturally this is the EASIEST way to go , however suitable donors are not always a given. In Jim's case Torino quarters dont just turn up on the beach everyday. The beauty of the direct graft is that it requires very little sculpting after the bond. Providing one takes the time to ensure perfect fitment.

2. The "next best thing" method is where one uses a quarter from another similar scrap car and reshapes it to the correct profile after it's set in place.
In a pinch one can cut any suitable chunk and warm it with a lighter so as to bend some contour into it. A universal quarter of sorts where it fleshes out the well and provides a sturdy form for hanging mud. Obviously any moldings or detail must be sculpted in as you go.

3. The mud pie. The hardest and messiest of the lot. Where straight liquid plastic is brushed, drooled, schlobbered, or troweled in the affected area. Due to the high shrink rate it is GUARANTEED that several applications will be necessary to get the required build of material. The missing areas are rebuilt one layer at a time until final profile is acheived.

So what I think Jim is really asking is how to blend out the repaired area.

The edges of the graft will always show...a given. The trick is to cut the area low and refloat enough material over the area so that when you cut the next skim back the ghost lines and color mismatch is below grade.

If ya look back to the white Charger you'll note that the material is pulled well beyond the repair area. The edges of the repair puddle is feathered into
the parent material using straight solvent to mix the two materials right where they lay. Providing the colors are in the ball park, this "blends" the two shades together and disguises the final edge.

What you are really doing is activating the very top layer of the parent body into liquid form, a film if you will; and reconstituting it with the upper layer of the repaired area. It's soup!

Once cured it can be cut (sanded) and polished just like any paint or hard plastic. Hope this helps Jim! :thumbsup:

Bill,

That is one smooooth & neat green rumble seat rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the C :D L :D R!

Thanx Bob, That shade of green is one of my favs. It's made from the old vibrator wheel controllers.

Here's one of my other favorite colors...Vibe blue...gettin hard to come by!

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04628.jpg

Hard for me to imagine this car missing all valences, front bumper bracket, cut front wells, coupla busted screw posts and not one, but two oiling holes drilled in the hood..."If at first you dont succeed just bore another hole in it!" hahahahaha!

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04632.jpg

Jag hoods are one of the hardest. A real bear to block out. Lots of things to crash into when your sanding. Vents , wipers, fender bead, head lamps, let alone trying to get the center lump straight. Reflection of the light indicates that we're pretty close on this one.


http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04631.jpg

Took a hair out of the back post just to level the ride. Always thought they sat a little goofy.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04640.jpg

Heres how the red willys looks after a week er so in Easy Off. It had all kinds of garbage paint remnants in several colors in all the crannies. The entire body is sprayed with testors to restore its original suppleness after Easy Offin'. The vestiges of last weeks donor red birds trunk are quickly snipped in half with the dykes.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04641.jpg

The chainsawed wells are roughed into a smooth curve....doesnt really matter how or what shape so long as it's smooth.


http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04642.jpg

Donor plugs are traced with a scribe and filed to fit. They are first edge bonded as a butt joint and after I'm satisfied that they are placed properly and wont wander they get their first float of filler.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04644.jpg

Had to repair the front post while I was at it. By using a chassis as a buck the post spacing comes out right every time. The excess donor material is clipped off with the dykes and left at a manageble length for filing later.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04643.jpg

Still knocking things around. Next is the missing A-pillar. Not sure about the rag top....kinda like the speedster look myself. A redo of the cowl with a new slot would allow a cut down windscreen and bag the pillar work all together. :thumbsup:

Although this looks like a bullet hole it's actually how I repair certain stains or inclusions.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04637.jpg

Prior to buffing a restored body I usually give them a good scrubbing and scuff some of the surfaces. This time what appeared to be a stubborn stain that ordinarily would scuff or sand out turned out to be a deep inclusion.
The area surrounding the spot is lowered with 600 wet and the spot/inclusion is drilled out.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04638.jpg

A coupla skims will sit for a week and then be quickly sanded off. Then maybe I can get this silly thing buffed out.

I like the little green car , the jaguar is very nice and the red car looks neat turned into a convertible . Is the yellow car a old Lincoln?
I never realized that slot cars were made into customs till i came over here lots of very nice work.I always think of them as little cars with plastic bodies .Learn something new every day.

Thank you Pearl. Yes it is a stock Aurora Lincoln.

The customs forum is what attracted me to HT originally. I live here now. ;) Admittedly I take a liberty or two and post stock restoration work in the customs area as well. The blue Jag is as near to stock as I can get it; as the Lincoln will be also.

Bill,
You're a magician with the repairs! The Blue Jag is excellent. The Willy's would look great with the white ragtop, chopped windshield, long hood and shirts, just my opinion - long & low.

Thanks for the tip on the inclusion repair on the Lincoln. My yellow Faller Ford 17M had what appeared to be a rub mark which turned out to be deep inclusion. Otherwise the car is mint, so I will give your technique a try. ...RL

PS Keep posting the techniques, tips & beautiful examples!

Thank you for the information .

I have another question l.o.l.

I try things i have no idea what i am doing but try anyways i go by the shape of things and try change it to something else. I use a kind of side cutter its for cutting model railroad track and cuts right though a windshield post or will cut a axle off a car.

I chopped the roof and put smaller wheels on this truck they are both the same casting .

On the roof i cut the roof off the stock casting cut it up and then glued the back half to the front half and it is too wide it fits over the door, i can live with that l.o.l. or maybe slice a little off the roof where it sits on the door.

But the windshield posts are to fat i was going to cut them off but what can i use to replace them and how do you glue something on a diecast truck its not like plastic where you can glue it with testors cement . I was going to put the truck in a auto wreckers diorama if i cant fix it .

By the way the red car looks like the hotwheels taildragger i mean the same kind of body shape the Willy's and 40 Fords type cars look a lot alike to me.

I cut the roof off a taildragger and just left it as a convertible.

My problem truck. l.o.l.

Thank you RL! Here's a cautionary tale of woe.

From what little I know of Faller plastic it has some different properties than Aurora. This is based on a custom Faller Caddilac low rider that went south on me several years ago. Still not over it!

I tend to be rather free with the Testors when working with Aurora plastics. Of course this is based on a "feel" that I've acquired for the specific plastic. This same approach turned my Caddy into a shriveled blob!!!! What I do know for sure is that Faller plastic is extremly sensitive to Testors 3502. No doubt a certain amount of it is the fact that Faller bods tend to be on the thin side by comparison to most aurora offerings. There is also a different feel to Faller plastic....almost rubbery....more flexible if you will. I have no dout that there is a significant formulation change. Faller behaves in the same way as Plastruct or AW plastic...or some of the later Aurora speedline stuff. When deconstituted it becomes rather lumpy instead of a smooth shiny suspension like the original Aurora plastic. Given enough time this "rottage cheese" formulation seperates completely and the precipitate will not recombine with the solution. On the other hand the Aurora plastic will seperate over several months, HOWEVER it WILL recombine with a quick stir and or a splash of Testors.

Please approach your repair with caution! Especially if your car has special value. A little booger might not be as bad as a rumpled or warped panel.

I would definately begin by working with some beaters and establish a seperate learning curve for Faller plastics.

I love it when Bill posts stuff on here ! Those cars are nice Man ! I am just curious though is the jag ,in that color a rare one? The reason I ask is because you put a lot of work and time into it but it does look great ! The Lincoln is one of my favs ,I'm still searching for one !

Honestly Pearl my metal working experience is in 1:1 cars and I havent plunged into small scale "potmetal" repairs....yet. That aside, I would dress the pillars down with a small file until you get the width/shape you are after. I couldnt function without my small file set. :thumbsup:

Once you have things properly fitted, most of the diecasters I know use some form of CA to execute the tiny bonds. Epoxies like Liquid Steel or JB Weld are also options especially where larger amounts of fill are required.

Judging by skillz exhibited in your offerings you should have no problems at all.

Thank you sir... never thought of filing the posts down that would work.I would only have to put a drop of glue on the front to hold the roof it is stuck pretty good at the back i glued it to the plastic in the pickup box .I made a little cover for the pickup box it just snaps in . The 1.1 cars are easier to work on my husband chops them down and easy to weld what you want ..no glue needed.l.o.l.

Scott, Beers rates the blue XKE as a #2 and makes no distinction for shade variations.

Remember that the Slot Bible is somewhat out of date and cannot predict phases of the moon and subsequent feeding frenzies on the beach. I personally consider them more of a #1. Today they are not that common and when they do appear they often require #1 type money to acquire a nice example.

Total time on Split's XKE is only around five to six hours or so. The actual hands on portion of the repair is tiny when compared to the cure times. This is why things take weeks or months to complete. Ten er fifteen minutes here or there on a steady basis with lengthy cure times in between is how they actually get done.

This is why you see a never ending progression of cars with some being started, others in midprocess, and occassionally something actually gets done. Many cars never even make the pages of HT. Much of it is based on doing like colors or like repairs at a given interval. They pop in and out of the thread until they are completed and go away. In it's place will be another one. While it may appear that I have scads of labor into a certain project it is simply an illusion. ;)

I knew it was the camera setting all along!!! :p:p:p Couldn't resist Bill, I use that setting all the time myself...RM

thanks for the info Bill, I didn't know that about the repairs. Truthfully I think the old t jets are worth saving no matter what , unless they have been really mutilated. It just seemd like the Jag was really bad off and now it looks beautiful. I know what you mean about the prices though , makes perfect sence.

Some great lookers! Gonna have to raise my level and get some new blades for my Xacto handle. :rolleyes: rr

While the "rag up look" sorta appealed to me initially the fact is that it just wasnt gettin it for me. Now that the front screw post and rear fender fills have firmed up I can begin work in other areas. The bits shown in the foreground are a Maserati trunk section. Chosen for it's slight curvature. Shown here the rear carapace section is scribed, roughed, and handfiled for a gapless fit. The other bitty looks promising for a dash fill unless I happen to find the perfect chunk in the shoebox of miracles.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04645.jpg

Both edges of the bond are lightly gooped and smooshed together. In this case I dropped it just below grade so later filler skims will layout nicely.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04646.jpg

After some set up time I poke it with my finger to ensure the bond is firm. then the entire area recieves a medium thick float of red inside and out.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04649.jpg

Once the carapace was set in place I roughed the hood fillage down and re-glazed the area. By this point the decision was made to kill off the scraggly remnants of the "A" pillars. hahahahahahaha!

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04647.jpg

Bill,

Red is my favorite color but, not just because I live in Nebraska. I picked red out as my favorite color back in Kindergarten....remember the day well...RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, RED...............:roll:....................YES!

The interior out of a Dash 55 Chevy Convertible would fit right in there Bill-sky. Me dreaming, "White rag top and white wall tires with red rims would be SMOKIN'!" ***shakes head and opens eyes*** Far out!

Bob...Just leave it red and goop form it your own way man...zilla

Bill,
Looking sweet! Can't wait to see the final version! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

It would look good with a cut down wind shield.

A little more curve required in the under cut and sneak a little off the ends...almost there.

When the yeller Lincoln went into polish mode, I tossed my old red one in the mix.

Coming along nicely , I see Mr. Hall ! Those Lincolns are cool, Has any one ever done one of those up as a Hotrod? Just curious.

Here's a crappy shot of my Lincoln sport coupe from last year. The remaining pics are still on my "limbo disc".
While building this car, prior to botching the top chop LOL, I had considered the same mods as the new Willys speedster. Problem was that my other Lincolns were too nice to justify killing for the project.

Bill is an Alien ...he said this is a Crappy pic of his Lincoln. It is a cover up!

Everyone ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun because the end is near:wave:

Bob...show us your non-crappy picture please...zilla

I see from one of your boxes that some of the world's excess of AXF Shadow bodies are being put to a good use...:freak:

man b hall the parade boot area looks like it was tigged great job! i know you must have a goop welding mochine in that cave.cmon come clean man.

Zilla Man, I don't think that is really red at all, I think it's CRIMSON!!!!!! Crimson and white just has a better sound to it...... though I am seein blackwalls and Moon hubcaps, maybe a mini Brooklands type windscreen, like a salt flats roadster . Nice lookin car either way!

Mr. Bill......as per usual, I am amazed at your creations. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

.. on dat Red Speedster Wooly!!!!! :thumbsup: nuther

Nice build up on the red Willys Bill!

And I am glad you pitched the conv roof. It just had the wrong lines for the car...

Thank you for all the step by steps...

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04672.jpg

Part of my bag of tricks is the "build yer own windsheild slot". It's about eight hundred times easier than trying to plunge cut, saw, or fidget a slot into existing plastic. All ya do is remove the excess material, square up the front edge by file, and bond something in behind to create the slot. In this case it's a 63 T-bird door flipped upside down.... from the same bird I've been slowly devouring for the last week er so.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04674.jpg

This pic shows that the windsheild will now stand on it's own without secret masking tape under the hood to hold it up. Also about half a ton of filler has been added to each rear fender. Full strength "Base" goop was hogged onto the fender fills in the horizontal position one at a time. This keeps it from running off or sagging. Each side is allowed to flash off. Then the body is slowly tumbled every so often while it's still in the clamps. Tumbling keeps the fill curvature convex and maximizes the material build horizontally rather than all slid to the bottom as a fat run.



http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04673.jpg

This shot shows the dummy dash pretty good. I left the T-bird door bottom seam in place and it seems to add a hair of interest. With any luck I'll be allowed to keep it's total depth. For now the windsheild will retain its double thickness. We'll plane her down by at least half when I start to fidget the details. If I happen to slog some glue or accidentally nick it during the remainder of the build ...it'll still buff out. :thumbsup:

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04676.jpg

Lookin' up her tailpipe really shows the added width and curvature. Cant say whether this Willys will retain the full rear fender skirts... or maybe open them up. Either way she's gotta cure for a week now so we're gonna work on a rear drop axle chassis so the crazy reverse rake can be maintainted.

A slot...nice idea :)

Bob

Arrrrteeeest! Bill, your little willy knocks my socks off, brother!

I guess I need to find more bits and pieces of bodies. Even the culls you sent me look too good to become donor parts. I would hate to carve them up!

Watching your build-ups is always so enjoyable, Bill. Thanks much! :thumbsup:

Damn Bill, you just keep better and better and building these little masterpieces

I agree with VJ, I like what I'm seeing, a red fat fendered, no top cruiser, with skirts. Can I borrow it for a weekend??? RM

To Bill: I got a hot date. Can I borrow the Willys tonite? Puulllease!!! :freak::dude:

Mr B Willys be lookin' good bro ! :thumbsup:

To Bill: I got a hot date. Can I borrow the Willys tonite? Puulllease!!! :freak::dude: Sorry Russ wont be much good to ya ...I had to delete the back seat.

The other day when no one was lookin' I pryed open a mangled Firebird of the speedline variety. Most speedlines took a hell of a beating but by golly the interiors are always mint!

vhttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04693.jpg

With some minor whittling and sanding I managed to cram it into the Willys speedster. The gearplate rails had to be shaved to snuggle it all together, but it was a small price to pay. I like the added depth that these interiors add verses your standard torso on a slab detail.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04688.jpg

Part of todays mayhem was building a drop axle chassis to settle her tail. The rear deck looks really stretched now as the viewing angle has been dropped considerably in the rear. I'm gonna leave off here for a while... like Bobzilla always sez..."It's a good time to walk away".

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04683.jpg

So I'd been putting off spraying some charger details until they were BOTH ready. They are a pain in neck to mask and I wanted to do all my suffering at once. If ya remember the purple unit arrived a ways back and had screwpost ringworms on the hood and trunk that I removed with fire. A pillars and vent posts were bent and noodled but not broken. They were corrected using the Testors softening trick.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04679.jpg

The tan charger recieved a second spray of goop after a good wet sanding in 2000 to remove some minor boogers I couldnt live with. In order to get that factory look both these chargers will get their roofs scuffed and buffed one more time.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f30/modelmurdering/DSC04677.jpg

This tan one goes to Giperjet who has been a major contributor to the model murdering program. He's provided tons of scrap cars over the last coupla years. Odds are if you had a car repaired here there's a good chance that the donor plastic came from Greg or by way of tjd 241 (nuther Dave). Greg sent a white charger some time back and said those fateful words...."no hurry"...hahahahahaha! After nibbling away at the body work for the better part of a year I asked him what color he wanted it....Tan he sez! I near gagged at the time.

So the slot gods proved me wrong...again!.... and slapped me upside the head. This car is supersweet. It came out so shiny my cam damera thinks it's white (d'oh! ... maybe shoulda used a white background). I assure you it IS medium t-jet tan!

Thanx for riding along guys, as well as all the kind words and props.

Bill,
Still amazing to see any of your reclamation projects when you wrap them up. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Sweet looking Willster!!! It's so red LOL. Those Chargers are sweet too :)

Thanks a lot Bill, now you got me wanting a droptop!!! Maybe the boys will let me borrow the grinder, I gots to have one!!! Hope you don't mind!!! RM

Nice job Mr. B ! I like all dem , dare cars !Please say it ain't so that you be leavin off for awhile ? !
