I just bought a 79 Z28 and a 94 Z28 to make a model of my car. I need to convert the t-tops to hardtop and find/make a cowl hood, and I'm putting the 6spd, center bolt heads, console and seats all in the 79 to replicate mine. I'd also like to make my own subframe connectors and slide-a-links somehow. Any pointers?

My best advise would be not to ask me cause I'm a noob when it comes to models, however I've picked up some really great stuff from other people. Everyone uses styrene (sp) and I found some at a hobby shop here that came in sheets, 3 different thickness. You'll prolly need that to fabricate stuff for sure. The guy who posted here under you talked about putty. I got some plain ole Testors brand that works just fine so I'd get some of that too. You can make pretty much anything. Those finger nail files, the card board kind? - they are really handy cause you can cut them up and file anything. This is my first go at diecast so if that is what you're working with I can't help much. There are going to be some obvious obsticles with metal that you don't have with plastic. If you want to add on, cool, but if you want to remove parts .... I guess I'll be turning on the air compressor and getting out the cutting wheel. :shrug:
Anyway, here's a link that'll help you out.

Those folks do some crazy models with crazy detail and they pretty much have cool tricks for all that stuff.
