'31 Ford old school WIP

This is something that I just started. Its Revells '31 Ford sedan. The first pic shows the body before I started on it. The second shot shows the chopped top the Z'ed frame and how much it will be channeled. I also cut out the roof insert. Power will come from a Chevy stovebolt six. I'll keep you all posted .

Update....Here's a couple of shots I took of the completed bodywork. The dark lines you see are weld lines. I used Liquid Nails shot through a hypodermic needle. I got this idea from Robrex. It works quite well. I want all the weld seams to show on the finished car.
