'Good to see you fixed that crack!'

I feel sorry that I could not fix the crack afterall.
The crack dissappeared when i sanded it down and applied the green. However it showed up again days later, also as coats of tamiya TS-13 hardens. I had no idea how this could happen...maybe tamiya lacquer reacted with gunze mr. surfacer??? ~.~"

Anyway, It was inconvenient to flatten the crack again as Im running out of time for the contest, and i must finish another project before May. The crack will be covered with sponsor decals near final assembly.

Im thinking i will gunmetal the head light housing, and keep the chrome grill. Looks good you guys think?

tsuchiya, The green is mixed from parts of yellow, blue. clear yellow + blue was added too, but they won't make a difference i don't think...these are acrylic paint (tamiya/gunze)

tamiya TS-13 was on at the end. It darkened the green I used to have.

I can see the pics now. I say keep the chrome grill. It is just like the real 4dr's. Only the coupes had the color matched ones. Awesome job on the polishing. The finish looks like glass.

Sweet build, Im still in awh of the conversion! What are you doing about taillights?

Progress and some outside photos. Thank you for looking.











Car is around 85% complete i think..It is missing front lip and decals.

The left side of the car has bad paint job, especially near the gas door where the crack is. I was desperate hoping to remove that shallow crack by rubbing away paint until its level. No luck. I got a few more spots burned through instead....

Painted tamiya X-18 for the head light housing. I ran out of gun metal paint. Still looks good now.

I also made rear window defrosters by lightly scribing the window using masking tape as a template. Thank you flyonthewall for the advice.
