Sylvan Scale Models 1937 Chevrolet Taxi

[Raymo]

You now have a completed wheel and tire assembly. 3 more and then off to paint.

Because the thicknesses vary in the molding (moulding ) it's easier to find a drill bit close to the parts your working with for these specific items. I've cut down the sprue so the don't hit each other when installed.

Dan,

These little headlight parts are cute, but very easily lost. If you are using tweezers to handle them, be reallllll careful. Clare says they go so to someplace in headlight heaven. I guess he has to replace a lot of them from people like me!

Dan, thanks for the how-to. I just ordered three kits from American Prototype. One question I have for you is in the instructions it say's to use a cleaner to get rid of the mold release. I have tried washing with dish detergent but still get a few spots that won't cover with paint. Can you tell me what you use get rid of the mold release and where I  can get some.  Thanks

Dan,
Watching your vehicle come together as a new ride is needed at my end. Car just turned 219k tonight...

No I need to finish it, sometimes life gets in the way. Should be able to get back at it next week. Raymo

Dan,

Fully understand the 'life getting in the way' thing. Was just curious, as I'm about to dig out a few Sylvan kits and make a start on them, something to work on while my other projects are on hold.

Raymo,
              I'm still all eyes.  I'll copy cat what ACL1504 said. 1 question, is this car you're building the car you'll use to taxi around the members at the next expo? Thanx Thom...

[Zephyrus52246]

Maybe a taxi this size for the Expo.

This is true Frank. I usually find a half dozen when I clean my desk.
